Question

Mark has already run 33.4 miles this week. He can run 2.5 miles in one hour. Construct an equation that represents the total number of miles run based on how many hours he runs for. What is the total number of miles he ran if he runs for 17 hours?

Answer 1

y = 2.5x + 33.4, y = 75.9 miles

Explanation:

Equation is y = 2.5x + 33.4

17 = 2.5 x + 33.4

y = 2.5 (17) + 33.4

y = 42.5 + 33.4

y = 75.9 miles
