John runs a marathon (26.2 miles) in 4 hours. Determine how many miles he runs per hour if the proportional relationship is represented by 4y=26.2x.(1 point)
Responses
6.55 mph
104.8 mph
7 mph
0.15 mph
To find how many miles John runs per hour, we need to find the value of x when y = 1 in the equation 4y = 26.2x.
Dividing both sides of the equation by 4, we get:
y = 6.55x
This means that for every 1 hour (y=1), John runs 6.55 miles (x=1).
Therefore, John runs 6.55 miles per hour.
The correct answer is 6.55 mph.
