Question

Lily has walked 2 miles. Her goal is to walk 6 miles. Lilly plans to reach her goal by walking 3 miles each hour h for the rest of her walk. Write an equation to find the number of hours it will take Lily to reach her goal.

Answer 1

Equation: f(h)=2+3h

Explanation:

We know that 2 miles are alreayd covered and the rest of the miles will be covered at rate of 3h.

So you will have f(h)=2+3h

f(h)=6

Now plug in your goal of 6 miles into the equation.

6=2+3h

3h=6-2

3h=4

h=4/3 is the correct answer.

So your answer for this will be 4/3 and your equation will be f(h)=2+3h.

I hope this helps! Have a good day! :D
