If I travel 50 mph what is the distance traveled

Question

Write an Algebraic expression

Answer 1

Also, remember that if you’re confused on using the variables-rewrite your equation. And, then plug in your given values.

d= rt

d/t=r

etc.

Answer 2

if you traveled for 1 hour, you went 50 miles

if you traveled for 2 hours, you went 100 miles

if you traveled for 30 minutes, you went 25 miles

if you traveled for 15 minutes you went 12 1/2 miles

if you traveled for 6 minutes you went 5 miles

if you traveled for 1 minute 12 seconds you went 1 mile

in general you traveled 50t miles where t=time measured in hours or you went 5t/6 where t is measured in minutes

or 5t/360 where t is measured in seconds

in 72 seconds you went 5(72)/360 = 5(2)/10= 1 mile

distance = 5t/360 for t=seconds traveled

=5t/6 for t= minutes traveled

=50t for t = hours traveled

=1200t for t = days traveled (assuming a very large gas tank, no pit stops along the way, and some way to stay awake)

Answer 3

Distance traveled equals the rate multiplied by the time, or d = rt

In this case the rate is given as 50 mph so r = 50.

d = 50t where d is in miles and t is in hours.
