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

Given that,

Distance covered by Charlie = 208 miles in 4 hours.

It is required to find the equation that shows the relationship between driving hours (h) and miles driven (m).

The formula for speed is given by :

speed = distance/time

Here, distance = 208 miles and time = 4 hours

So,

`s=(d)/(t)`

Putting the values,

`s=\frac{208\ \text{miles}}{4\ \text{hours}}\\\\s=52\ mph`

So, the speed of Charlie is 52 mph.
