Question

Julie drove a motorcycle in a race. She averaged 35 mph and began the race 0.25 hours ahead of the other drivers. The variable d represents Julie's distance driven, in miles. The variable t represents the number of hours since the other drivers began to race.

Which equation can be used to determine the distance Julie drove t hours into the race?


d=35t−0.25

d = 35t + 0.25

d=35(t+0.25)

d=35(t−0.25)

Answer 1

You would need to add 0.25 from t to get the number of hours ( this would be the total number of hours she has raced) and then multiply that by her speed.

The equation would be d = 35(t+0.25)
