Question

While Sylvia trains for a long distance race, she wants to maintain an average of 6 miles an hour. She made a graph so that she will always know how many miles to run for the amount of hours she is training.What is the number of miles she should run if she has 4 hours to train?

Answer 1

24

Explanation:

4x6=24

Answer 2

24 miles

Explanation:

we know that

The speed is the ratio of the distance by the time

Let

d -----> the distance in miles

t -----> the time in hours

s ----a. the speed in mph

`s=(d)/(t)`

we have

`s=6\ mi/h`

`t=4\ h`

substitute in the formula and solve for d

`6=(d)/(4)`

`d=6(4)=24\ mi`
