You are running at a rate of 6 miles per day. Write a function that represents the distance d traveled in h hours. How many miles do you run in 2 hours?

Answer 1

***Assuming you are running 24 hours straight. If the problem stated the amount of hours you run in a day, change the number of hours in the rate formula (1st line below)***

Rate = (6 Miles / 1 Day) * (1 Day / 24 hours)

Rate = 0.25 miles / hour

To get distance you would multiply this rate by the amount of hours ran... thus the equation would be :

d (h) = 0.25 * h

How many miles do you run in 2 hours?

d (h) = 0.25 * h

d (2) = 0.25 * 2

d (2) = 0.5 miles
