ANSWER

Table a

EXPLANATION

We know that for every 4 seconds, the storm is 1 mile away. If x is the number of seconds and y is the distance in miles of the storm, then the relationship between these variables is,

[tex]y=\frac{1}{4}x[/tex]

We can check that when x = 4 seconds, y = 1 mile.

Now we have to see which one of these tables corresponds with this equation. To do so, we have to divide each value of x by 4 and see if the result is the corresponding value of y in the table.

After doing this, the only table that meets this requirement is table a,

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{16}{4}=4 \\ \\ \frac{20}{4}=5 \\ \\ \frac{24}{4}=6 \\ \\ \frac{32}{4}=8 \\ \\ \frac{52}{4}=13 \end{gathered}[/tex]
