complete question:
Jordan signed up for the Annual Cross Florida bike ride which is a 170 mile bike ride. After weeks of training he, rides at an average of 15 miles per hour. Write an equation that can be used to show Jordan's progress in miles (y) after a number of hours (x).
Answer:
y = 15x
Explanation:
Jordan signed up for the annual cross Florida bike ride which is a 170 mile bike ride. He can rides at 15 miles per hours after series of training . The equation to express his progress in miles (y) after a number of hours (x) can be express below.
The question asked how much progress in miles after a number of hour. This is simply expressing an equation that show how much distance in miles he will cover after certain number of hour(s). The equation will be
y = 15x
15 times any hours he spent will give you Jordan progress in miles since his average is 15 miles per hour.
where
y = Jordan progress in miles
x = number of hours
Example his progress in miles after 2 hours will be as follow.
y = 15x
x = 2 hours
y = 15 × 2
y = 30 miles.
In this case his progress in miles after 2 hours according to the equation will be 30 miles .If he uses 3 hours his progress in miles will be 45 miles and so on .
