Al has a 27 mile drive to work.

Question

Write an equation to represent the relationship between Al's distance (D), rate (R), and travel time (T).

Answer 1

We know that the relationship between distance, rate, and 

time is expressed by...

 

D=RxT....where...

D=distance

R=rate

T=time

 

Prob statement lists distance as 27 miles, but no values or variables 

for rate or time.  So we can write the equation as...

 

27=RxT.......(this is as far as we can go with the equation)
