Answer:

9 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

On your graph, use a ruler and your eye to get the best fitting line.  

Then find the time in seconds (45) which is between 40 and 50 on the x axis.

Go across to the y axis. You will find it is about 9 seconds.

Based on the information depicted by the graph, the distance of the storm 45 seconds between Lightning and Thunder will be 9 miles

From the graph, we can create a proportional relationship thus :

Distance from storm = Seconds between Thunder

4 miles = 20 seconds

Let the miles traveled by Storm between 45 seconds = s

Hence, we have ;

4 miles = 20 seconds

s miles = 45 seconds

Cross multiply :

20s = 45 × 4

20s = 180

Divide both sides by 20

s = 180 / 20

s = 9 miles

Therefore, the storm will be 9 miles away.
