Question

Charlie drove 208 miles in 4 hours at a constant speed. He continues at that speed. Give the equation that shows the relationship between

driving hours (h) and miles driven (m).

Answer 1

d = 52t

Explanation:

The relationship between driving hours (h) and miles driven (m) is expressed as:

speed = distance/time

Given

Distance = 208miles

Time = 4hours

Substitute to get the speed first

Speed = 208/4

Speed = 52mi/hr

From the formula

S = d/t

Substitute the speed gotten

52 = d/t

d = 52t

Hence the equation that shows the relationship between driving hours (h) and miles driven (m) is d = 52t where d is measures in miles and t in hr
