Distance traveled is directly proportional to time traveled.

d α  t

d = kt,      where k is constant of proportionality.

Using d = 93 miles and t = 15 hours

93 = k(15)

15k = 93

k = 93/15 = 6.2

Hence variation equation is:  d = kt, since k = 6.2.

 d = 6.2t

Distance traveled in 24 hours:

d = 6.2t

d = 6.2*24

d = 148.8

Distance traveled is 148.8 miles.
