Question

Can I get help on number 7!!!!!

Answer 1

C =(43/55)R; C - R = 8t; 48 mi

Explanation:

Let C = the distance a coyote can run in t hours.

Let R = the distance a rabbit can run in t hours.

(1) C = 43t

(2) R = 35t

A. Two equivalent expressions

(a) C/R = 43/35

C = (43/55)R

(b) C – R = 43t – 35t

C – R = 8t

B. Distance advantage of coyote

Let the difference D = C - R

D = 8t

D = 8 × 6

D = 48 mi

In 6 h, the coyote can run 48 mi further than the rabbit.
