Question

A car is traveling down the highway at a constant speed described by the equation D equals 65T where d represents the distance in miles that the car travels at this Speed in t hours

Answer 1

Answer:

The 65 tells us the constant speed the car is travelling at.

The car travels 97.5 miles in 1.5 hours

0.4 of an hour to travel 26 miles

Explanation:

d is the distance, we get that by multiplying speed and time, we are told t is time, so 65 must be speed

Step-by-step explanation:Substitute in 1.5 into the equation as the t, time

d=65t

d=65×1.5

d=97.5

The car takes 0.4 hours to travel 26 miles, substitute in 26 as the d, and isolate t to get the time it takes to travel 26 miles

d=65t

26=65t

26÷65=t

0.4=t
