Question

Andre rode his bike at a constant speed. He rode 1 mile in 5 minutes. Which of these equations represents the amount of time t (in minutes) that it takes him to ride a distance of d miles?

t = 5d
t = 1/5d
t = d + 4
t = d - 4

Answer 1

the first one

Explanation:

Answer 2

A) t=5d

Explanation:

Since the problem states "He rode 1 mile in 5 minutes", that means for every mile Andre travels, it will take him 5 minutes for each mile.

Therefore, the equation that best works is t=5d because the coefficient is 5 where it's the slope representing 5 minutes per mile.
