Question

Write an equation that shows the relationship between time and distance. Use your equation to find how long it would take in minutes for Glenda to swim a mile at this rate.

a) The equation is D = 60T, and it would take Glenda 60 minutes to swim a mile.
b) The equation is D = 1/60T, and it would take Glenda 1/60 minutes to swim a mile.
c) The equation is D = 2T, and it would take Glenda 2 minutes to swim a mile.
d) The equation is D = 1/2T, and it would take Glenda 1/2 minutes to swim a mile.

Answer 1

The equation that shows the relationship between time and distance is D = 60T. It would take Glenda 1/60 minutes to swim a mile at this rate.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that shows the relationship between time and distance is D = 60T. This equation means that distance is equal to 60 times the time (in minutes).

To find how long it would take Glenda to swim a mile at this rate, we can substitute the given distance of 1 mile into the equation. D = 1 mile and the equation becomes 1 = 60T. To find T, we divide both sides of the equation by 60, giving us T = 1/60.

Therefore, it would take Glenda 1/60 minutes to swim a mile at this rate.
