Question

The equation d=rt is used to calculate distance, rate, or time, where d is the distance (in feet), r is the rate (in feet per second), and t is the time (in seconds). Consider the statements below that describe the running rates for three people. Graph the equation that represents the rate of the fastest person. Payton runs for 20 seconds and goes 380 feet. Jaime runs at a rate of 20 feet per second. Nguyen runs 450 feet in 25 seconds.

Answer 1

Explanation:

d = rt

payton runs for 20 seconds and goes 380 ft...

d = rt....r = d/t

r = 380/20

r = 19 ft per second

the equation for this one is : y = 19x...where y is distance traveled in ft and x is number of seconds

Jamie runs at a rate of 20 ft per second

the equation for this one is : y = 20x

Nguyen runs 450 ft in 25 second..

r = d/t

r = 450/25

r = 18 ft per second

the equation for this one is y = 18x

fastest person is Jamie
