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
First, we need to solve for y by dividing by 4 on both sides of the equation:
y = 26.2/4x
y = 6.55x
This means that for every hour John runs, he covers 6.55 miles. Therefore, John runs 6.55 miles per hour.
