Question

Olive's solar powered scooter travels at a rate of 30 miles per hour. What equation can she use to calculate her distance with relation to the time she traveled? H=Hours M=Miles 1. H=M+30 2. M=30H 3. M=H+30 4. H=30M

Answer 1

H=Hours (Time)

M=Miles (Distance)

in 1 hour Olive travels 30 M miles

(30 M in 1 H)

so, in 2 hours she'll travel ¹[(30 miles x 2 hours (H)) 60 miles (D)]

(60 M in 2H)

to find out her distance, (M), in relation to her time (H),

Use the same formula as ¹ formula is used

30 x H = M ⇒2

Answer 2

Answer: 2. M=30H

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

• Speed: 30 miles per hour
• M =miles (distance)
• H= hours (time)

We have to apply the next formula:

Distance = speed x time

Replacing with the information given:

M= 30 x H

In conclusion, the correct option is 2. M=30H
