Question

a car travels 2 5/8 miles in 3 1/2 minutes at a constant speed. write an equation to represent the distant d that the car travels in m minutes

Answer 1

Find how far the car traveled in one minute by dividing distance traveled by total time:

2 5/8 miles / 3 1/2 minutes = 3/4 mile per minute.

Now for distance (D) multiply miles per minute by number of minutes (m)

D = 3/4m
