an African elephant can run 18 mph write an equation using two variables to show the relationship between how many hours the elephant runs are in the distance the elephant Ran d
Let's use the variables r for the speed of the elephant (18 mph) and t for the time in hours that the elephant is running.
The distance the elephant runs (d) will be equal to the speed of the elephant multiplied by the time the elephant runs.
So, the equation can be written as:
d = r * t
Substitute r with 18 mph:
d = 18 * t
Therefore, the equation that shows the relationship between how many hours the elephant runs (t) and the distance the elephant ran (d) would be:
d = 18t
