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
To determine how many miles John runs per hour, we need to find the value of x when y is equal to 1 (representing 1 hour).
Given the proportional relationship 4y = 26.2x, we can plug in y = 1:
4(1) = 26.2x
4 = 26.2x
x = 4 / 26.2
x ≈ 0.1526717557
Therefore, John runs approximately 0.1527 miles per hour.
