Question

1) A car is traveling down a highway at a constant speed, described by the equation d = 65t, where d represents the distance, in miles, that the car travels at this speed in t hours. a) What does the 65 tell us in this situation? b) How many miles does the car travel in 1.5 hours? Show your work. c) How long does it take the car to travel 26 miles at this speed? Show you

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation d = 65t

represents the distance (d) the car travels at a 65 mile speed in t hours

a. 65 tells us the speed at which the car travels

b. If the car travels in 1.5 hrs, then

d = 65(1.5)

= 97.5 milestone.

c. To travel 26 miles, we have d = 26

26 = 65t

t = 26/65

= 0.35 (approximately)
