Question

Ana is driving her car at 45 mph. She wants to write an equation to show the

relationship between m, the number of miles she has driven, and h, the number of hours
she has spent driving. Write an equation to show the relationship.

Answer 1

The equation to show the relationship between m (the number of miles driven) and h (the number of hours spent driving) is:

m = 45h

Explanation:

Ana is driving at a constant speed of 45 miles per hour. This means that for each hour she drives, she covers a distance of 45 miles. Therefore, the equation to show the relationship between m (the number of miles driven) and h (the number of hours spent driving) is m = 45h. This equation tells us that the number of miles driven is directly proportional to the number of hours spent driving, with a constant of proportionality equal to the speed of the car (45 mph).
