Question

Please Help.

Tracey built a small boat and recorded the distance it traveled. The table below shows the distance traveled (f) during the first 4 seconds after starting (p).



Elapsed Time

(seconds) Distance Traveled

(feet)

1 4.2

2 8.4

3 12.6

4 16.8




Which of the following equations represents the relationship between the distance traveled and the elapsed time?

p = 4.2f

f = 4.2p

p = 4.2 + f

f = 4.2 + p

Answer 1

f=4.2p

Explanation:

Answer 2

Expressing the distance from the shore by the time needed to reach that distance at an invariable speed of 4.2f/s then f=4.2 p
