Question

Gustave measured his pace and determined that for him, s steps make up one mile. One day Gustave walked 6300 steps, which was 3 miles. Write an equation to describe this situation.

Answer 1

6300/3=s

s=2100

Explanation:

six thousand three hundred over 3 equals s

s equals two thousand one hundred

Answer 2

6300 = s * 3

s=2100

Explanation:

s =steps per mile

steps = steps per miles * miles

6300 = s * 3

This is the equation.

Divide each side by 3.

6300/3 = s3/3

2100 /s
