Question

2) Mai skated x miles, and Clare skated 3/5 farther than that. Write an equation to represent the relationship between the distance Mai skated (x) and the distance Clare skated (y).

Answer 1

`y=x+(3)/(5)`

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1

Let

x represents the number of miles Mai skated

y represents the number of miles Clare skated

now, translate

Mai skated x mile=x

and and Clare skated 3/5 farther than that. ( we need to add 3/5 to x to get y )

so

`y=x+(3)/(5)`
