Question

If Sam walks 650 meters in x minutes then write an algebraic expression which represents the number of minutes it will take to walk 1500 meters at the same average rate

Answer 1

x minutes=650 meters

 

or, 1 meter = (x/650) minutes

 

therefore, 1500 meters=1500*(x/650) = 1500*x/650 minutes.

 

or 1500 meters≈2.31*x minutes.
