Question

to estimate how many miles you are from a thunderstorm, count the seconds between when you see lightning and when you hear thunder. Then divide by 5. Write and solve an equation to determine how many seconds you would count for a thunderstorm that is 2 miles away.

Answer 1

T = seconds
M = number of miles

M=T/5
T = 5M
T=5(2miles)
T=10 seconds
