Question

Which equation represents the relationship between the distances Kaycee and Chris can throw the shot put?

Answer 1

Explanation:

We are given the following statement:

''Kaycee can throw the shot put 9 feet farther than his brother Chris can throw it''

And we need to select the equation that represents the situation.

For all of the options, k represents Kaycee's distance and c represents Chris's distance.

According to the statement, Kaycee's distance is 9 feet more than Chris's distance, this is represented by adding 9 to Chris's distance to describe Kaycee's distance:

`k=c+9`

This is shown in the second option.

Answer:

`k=c+9`

Where k =Kaycee's distance and c = Chris's distance.
