Question

It takes 15 minutes to ride a roller coaster

four times. Write an equation to find the
total time, y, it would take to ride x rides.
Equation:

Answer 1

Explanation:

To find the total time it would take to ride x rides on a roller coaster, we can set up the following equation:

y = 15 minutes/ride * x rides (without words: y = 15x)

This equation states that the total time "y" is equal to the time per ride multiplied by the number of rides.

For example, if we wanted to find the total time it would take to ride 10 rides on the roller coaster, we could plug in x = 10 into the equation to get:

y = 15 minutes/ride * 10 rides

= 150 minutes

So it would take 150 minutes to ride the roller coaster 10 times.
