Question

Write using algebra.

Jimmy ran m miles in t minutes. What was his speed?

Answer 1

The equation to answer this question would be t divided by m

Answer 2

Answer:
`\frac{\text{d}}{\text{t}}` miles per minute

Explanation:

We know that the formula to find speed is given by :-

`\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}`

Given : Jimmy ran m miles in t minutes.

i.e. Expression for Distance = m

Expression for Time = t

Then Jimmy's speed is given by :-

`\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{d}}{\text{t}}`

Hence,
`\text{Jimmy's Speed}=\frac{\text{d}}{\text{t}}` miles per minute.
