Question

You bike 9.8 miles in 1.4 hours at a steady rate.What equation represents the proportional relationship between the x hours you bike and the distance in miles that you travel

Answer 1

The equation is
`(x)/(y)= 8`

Explanation:

Let the time for which i bike is = x hours

Let the distance traveled in x hours = y miles

Ratio of distance and time will be = x : y

I travel 11.2 miles in 1.4 hours then the ratio of time and the distance traveled will be 1.4 : 11.2 Or 14 : 112

then the ratio of distance and time will be same in both the cases

So equation will be

`(x)/(y) =(14)/(112)\\\\(x)/(y) =8`

Hence, equation representing the proportional relationship will be
`(x)/(y)= 8`
