Answer 1

Answer: Mai skated x miles, and Clare skated 3/5 farther than that. Write an equation to represent the relationship between the distance Mai skated (x) and the distance Clare skated (y).

Explanation:

Answer 2

`y = (3)/(5) + x`

Explanation:

Given

Represent Mai's distance as x and Clare's distance as y

`Mai = x\ miles`

`C = (3)/(5)` farther than Mai

Required

Determine the relationship between both

`C = (3)/(5)` farther than Mai

Substitute x for Mai

`C = (3)/(5)` farther than x

Express as a mathematical expression:

`C = (3)/(5) + x`

Recall that Clare's distance is represented by y.

So, we have:

`y = (3)/(5) + x`

Hence, the relationship is:
`y = (3)/(5) + x`
