Question

Andre ride his bike at a constant speed.Hero 1 mile in 5 minutes. what is the equation of the proportional relationship that represents the amount of time T in minutes that it takes Andre to ride a distance of D Miles?

Answer 1

He rode 1 mile in 5 minutes

The proportional relationship that represents the amount of time T in minutes that it takes Andre to ride a distance of D Miles is:​

T = kD

where k is obtained replacing with T = 5 and D = 1:

5 = k*1

5 = k

Then, the equation is:

T = 5D
