Terrence walked a total of 12 kilometers by making 6 trips to school. How many trips will Terrence have to make in all to walk a total of 18 kilometers? Assume the relationship is directly proportional.

Answer

Answer: Since the relationship is directly proportional, we can set up a proportion to solve for the number of trips needed to walk 18 kilometers.

Let x be the number of trips needed for 18 kilometers.

\( \frac{12 \text{ km}}{6 \text{ trips}} = \frac{18 \text{ km}}{x \text{ trips}} \)

Cross-multiply to solve for x:

\( 12x = 18 \times 6 \)

\( 12x = 108 \)

\( x = \frac{108}{12} \)

\( x = 9 \)

Terrence will need to make 9 trips to walk a total of 18 kilometers.
