Question

Robert traveled 80 miles per hour. What equation shows the relationship between distance traveled (d), speed (s), and time taken (t)?

Answer 1

• 
  `80 = (d)/(t)`
• d=80t
• 
  `t = (d)/(80)`

Explanation:

The relationship between distance traveled (d), speed (s), and time taken (t) can be represented the following expressions:

• 
  `s = (d)/(t)`
• d = st
• 
  `t = (d)/(s)`

Using any of these expressions you can show the relationship. Substitute s = 80 for the speed.

• 
  `80 = (d)/(t)`
• d=80t
• 
  `t = (d)/(80)`
