Expert Solution
Step 1

Given Information about the distance traveled by the ship in time t-

time (hours) distance (miles)
0.5 12.5
1 25
1.5 37.5

Also it is given that ship travels at a constant rate.

The above table in word form tells us the following information-

Distance traveled by the ship in 0.5 hours = 12.5 miles.

Distance traveled by the ship in 1 hour = 25 miles.

Distance traveled by the ship in 1.5 hours = 37.5 miles.
