You are training twice a week for a race. On Monday, you go 4 miles in 40 minutes. Then on Wednesday you go 2 miles in 16 minutes. Write an equation where y is the number of miles and x is the time in minutes for the day you ran the fastest for the week.(1 point)

Responses

y=10x
y equals 10 x

y=0.1x
y equals 0.1x

y=8x
y equals 8 x

y=0.125x

y equals 0.125x

y=8x

To determine the equation that represents the relationship between the number of miles and the time in minutes for the day you ran the fastest for the week, we need to compare the two given scenarios and find the fastest one.

On Monday, you ran 4 miles in 40 minutes. This means that your average speed was 4 miles / 40 minutes = 0.1 miles per minute.

On Wednesday, you ran 2 miles in 16 minutes. This means that your average speed was 2 miles / 16 minutes = 0.125 miles per minute.

Since the speed (y) is equal to the distance (x) divided by the time, the correct equation would be:

y = 0.125x

Therefore, the answer is: y equals 0.125x.
