Question

The time between a flash of lightning and the sound of its thunder can be used to estimate the distance from a lightning strike. The distance from the strike is the number of seconds between seeing the flash and hearing the thunder divided by 5. Suppose you are 17 miles from a lightning strike. Write and solve an equation to find how many seconds there would be between the flash and thunder.

Answer 1

(b) t/5=17 , so t is about 85 seconds

Answer 2

(b) t/5=17, so t is about 85 seconds

Explanation:

The question is saying , the distance of the strike(17) is the number of seconds(t) divided by 5
