Question

the equation d=6 t models the distance of a squirrel can travel when when it runs at top speed. In the equation, d is the distance in yards and t is the time in seconds.

Answer 1

`\begin{array}c\cline{1-5} \textsf{Time (s),}\;t \phantom{\frac11}& \phantom{.}0 \phantom{.}& 2 & 4 & 6\\\cline{1-5} \textsf{Distance (yd)},\;d \phantom{\frac11}& 0 & 12 & 24 & 36\\\cline{1-5} \end{array}`

Explanation:

Given equation:

`d=6t`

where:

• d is the distance in yards.
• t is the time in seconds.

To complete the table, substitute each value of t into the given formula and solve for d:

`t=2 \implies d=6(2)=12`

`t=4 \implies d=6(4)=24`

`t=6 \implies d=6(6)=36`

Enter the found values of d into the table:

`\begin{array}\cline{1-5} \textsf{Time (s),}\;t \phantom{\frac11}& \phantom{.}0 \phantom{.}& 2 & 4 & 6\\\cline{1-5} \textsf{Distance (yd)},\;d \phantom{\frac11}& 0 & 12 & 24 & 36\\\cline{1-5} \end{array}`
