Question

Elisa decides to walk home from her favorite restaurant. The restaurant is 5 miles from her home, and she can walk at a steady pace of 2 miles an hour. Which equation models Elisa's distance from home based on the time spent walking

Answer 1

d = 2h

Explanation:

the total distance from the restaurant is 5 miles so we know the equation is going to equal 5

miles per hour can be written as m • h

equation so far 5 = m • h

the question also stated she can walk 2 miles(m) for every hour(h), so we can change m for 2; 5= 2h. (solving this she took 2 and a half hours to walk home, that's some dedication to that restaurant)

so we know that the distance (d) is 2 times time spent walking in hours or d = 2h
