Jazzie and Jocelyn are racing on a track.Jazzie runs 4 miles per hour and gets a 0.25 mile head start. Jocelyn runs 0.5 miles per hour faster than Jazzie. If Jocelyn and Jazzie run the same distance, how many hours, x, do they run?

F. 4x + 0.25 = 0.5x
G.4x + 0.25 = 4.5x
H.4x + 0.25 =3.5 x
J. 4x - 0.25 = 3.5 x

Answer 1

G: 4x + 0.25 = 4.5x

1. since Jazzie runs 4 mph add .5 to that to get Jocelyn's speed of 4.5 mph

2. Since Jazzie has a head start add .25 to 4x to get 4x + 0.25 = ?

3. put Jocelyn's speed in the question Mark to get 4x + 0.25 = 4.5x
