Question

Leon has already run 1 mile on his own, and he expects to run 3 miles during each track practice. Write an equation that shows the relationship between the practices p and the distance d.

Answer 1

d = 1 + 3p

Explanation:

Leon already ran 1 miles on his own and he is expected to cover a distance d of 3 miles during each practice. The number of practices is expressed as p and the distance covered is expressed as d.

For every track practice he is expected to cover a distance of 3 miles. Recall he has already cover 1 mile on his own.

Therefore, the relationship between the practices p and the distance d can be expressed as follows.

number of track practice = p

distance covered = d

The distance covered d in miles is 1 miles plus the number of track practice p multiply by 3

d = 1 + 3p
