The table shows how the distance traveled by a cargo ship over time

In this table above, we can see that (EACH) number that is on the the side that reads "distance traveled" would be adding up by 36.

As we divide 72, we would get 36, which this would then signify that all we would do to the missing number would be that we would just adding 36 and the number before the "question mark".



Your correct answer would be 144.
