Question

2. Write an equation to show how distance dand time t are related for travel at each speed. a. 50 miles per hour b. 55 miles per hour C. 60 miles per hour

Answer 1

We need to write an equation to show how distance and time t are related to travel at each speed.

Let the distance = d

Time = t

Speed = s

Speed is the distance over time:

So,

`s=(d)/(t)`

Solve the equation for d

so, the general relation will be:

`d=s\cdot t`

When s = 50 miles per hour, the equation will be:

`d=50t`

when s = 55 miles per hour, the equation will be:

`d=55t`

when s = 60 miles per hour​, the equation will be:

`d=60t`
