Question

The time in seconds between seeing lightning and hearing thunder is about five times the storm's distance in miles. Write a function to represent the storm's distance f(s) given the time s. How far away is a storm if this time is 15 seconds?

Answer 1

f(s)=5s
f(s)=5(15)
f(s)=75
At 15 seconds, the storm would be approximately 75 miles away.
