Acruise ship travels 1900 miles per trip. there are a total of 4 stops the ship makes, and the distance to the first stop is 460 miles. if the variable d stands for the distance left to travel after the first stop, which of the following choices is the most reasonable value for d? a. 15,000 miles b. 1,500 miles c. 2,500 miles d. 500 miles

B. 1,500 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

From the statement of the question, d is a decreasing variable, that starts in 1900 miles and ends in 0 at the end of the trip.

From that we calculate the value of d as:

d=1900 miles - distance traveled

And since, after the first stop, the ship has traveled 460 miles, we have:

d=1900 miles -460 miles = 1440 miles

The closest value to 1440 miles is B. 1500 miles, so that would be the correct answer.

2nd one in the first row is correct
