Question

Water flows down the Mississippi River at about 1.2 miles per hour

(true fact!!). The relationship between hours and miles the water has traveled is...

Discrete

Continuous

Answer 1

Continuous

Explanation:

The rate of flow of water down the river is referred to as its speed. Thus the speed changes with respect to the distance covered. Which implies that there is a direct relationship between the distance covered (in miles) by the water flow and time taken (in hours).

The relationship between hours and miles the water traveled is continuous.
