Shelby walks at a constant rate. the equation that represents this relationship is d=4t, where d is the distance in miles and t is the time in hours.
What does the constant 4 tell you about shelby?
Make use of structure. What question is answered by the equation d=4(32)?
The constant 4 in the equation d=4t tells us that Shelby walks at a rate of 4 miles per hour. This means that for every hour Shelby walks, she covers a distance of 4 miles.
To answer the question using the equation d=4(32), we substitute 32 for t in the equation. By multiplying 4 by 32, we can find the distance traveled by Shelby in 32 hours.
4 is the speed
distance = speed * time
