Question

`d=3t` represents the relationship between the distance `\left(d\right)`in inches that a snail is from a certain rock and the time `(t)` in minutes.

a. What does the number `3` represent? b. How many minutes does it take the snail to get `9` inches from the rock c. How far will the snail be from the rock after `9` minutes?

Answer 1

Answer: b.3minutes c.27inches

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:a.3 is the coefficient

b.3minutes

c.27inches

Step-by-step explanation:

a. In d=3t equation, d and t are variables. 3 is the coefficient for 't'.

b. In d=3t , d is 9inches.

so 9 = 3t

or t = 9/3 =3minutes

c. In d= 3t, t is 9minutes.

So d= 3*9 = 27inches.
