Question

Gamora and quil each drove their cars for 4.6 hours. In that time, Gamora drove 230 miles. Quil drove 10 miles per hour slower than Gamora drive. Write an equation that can be used to determine the distance, y, in miles, that Quil drove in H hours Use your equation to determine how many more miles gamora drove in h hours than quil drove. Show your work.

Answer 1

The equation to determine the distance Quil drove in h hours can be written as y = (230 - 10) * h. The number of more miles Gamora drove in h hours than Quil is 230 - ((230 - 10) * h).

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we are given that Gamora drove 230 miles in 4.6 hours. We are also told that Quil drove 10 miles per hour slower than Gamora. We can use this information to write an equation to determine the distance Quil drove in h hours.

Let's call the distance Quil drove y. We know that Gamora drove 230 miles, so Quil drove 10 miles per hour slower, which means his speed is (230 - 10) miles per hour. The time they both drove is h hours.

Therefore, our equation is: y = (230 - 10) * h

To determine how many more miles Gamora drove in h hours than Quil, we can subtract the distance Quil drove (given by the equation) from the distance Gamora drove, which is 230 miles.

So, the number of more miles Gamora drove in h hours than Quil is: 230 - ((230 - 10) * h).
