Every autumn, the North American Monarch butterfly migrates up to 3,000 miles to California and Mexico where it hibernates
until early spring. The butterfly travels on average 50 miles per day.

Part A

The equation is d = 50t

This is because the slope of 50 represents how many miles per day the butterflies cover (on average). The y intercept is 0 to indicate that 0 miles have been traveled initially.

You can think of this as the equation y = 50x

If t = 1, then d = 50t = 50*1 = 50 miles have been covered

If t = 2, then d = 50t = 50*2 = 100 miles have been covered

And so on.

Part B

You'll have these values in the bottom row (in the order presented): 50, 100, 150, 200, 250

You can plug in the values t = 1, t = 2, t = 3, t = 4 and t = 5 into d = 50t to find those answers in bold.

Or you could add on 50 each time to generate each new value. We start at 50 since t = 1 corresponds to d = 50.

Part C

You can keep the pattern of 50,100,150, ... going until you reach 2500. Then note the t value that pairs with d = 2500

In my opinion, that's the slower method.

The quicker method is to plug d = 2500 into the equation for part A, and then solve for t.

d = 50t

2500 = 50t

50t = 2500

50t/50 = 2500/50 divide both sides by 50

t = 50

It will take 50 days for the average distance traveled to be 2500 miles.
