Question

Oliver drives 45 miles per hour.Write an expression that represents the distance in miles he will travel for h hours driven.

Answer 1

45h=d

Explanation:

If d represents the distance in miles, then the equation would be 45h=d because when you multiply 45 by the amount of hours h, then you would get the total distance in miles. For example, Oliver drives 45 miles per hour for 3 hours. When we substitute h, the number of hours, for 3, then we get:

45(3)=d

And all we need to do is to multiply them together to get d, which in this case, it is 135 miles.
