Question

A rabbit is 4m away from its burrow. Each hop takes it 0.4 m farther from the burrow . The following diagram shows that there is a tasty plant that is 6m from the burrow. Which equation can we use to determine h, the number of hops it takes the rabbit to reach the pant

Answer 1

The correct option is: C.

Explanation:

Each hop takes it 0.4 meter further from the burrow.

If the number of hops the rabbits takes to reach the plant is , then the total distance it traveled to reach the plant will be: meters.

As the rabbit was initially 4 meter away from it's burrow, so the distance from the burrow to the plant will be:

Given that, the plant is 6 meters away from the burrow.

So, the equation that we can use to determine the number of hops it takes the rabbit to reach the plant will be

Answer 2

4 + 0.4h = 6

Explanation:

4 is the starting point

0.4h shows that each hop (h) takes the rabbit 0.4 meters further from its burrow

6 is the goal of the rabbits total distance (because that's where the plant is) so you make the equation total to 6.
