I do not understand how to do this please help.
The distance (d) in meters that an ant can travel varies directly with the amount of time (t) in hours it spends walking. Assume that an ant’s constant of proportionality is 18.
Write an equation to represent the proportional relationship between d and t using the information given.
distance= rate * time
d = 18 t
Problem is silly, just trying to confuse you with language.
is it [d x t = 18] ?
To write an equation representing the proportional relationship between the distance traveled (d) and the time spent walking (t), we need to consider that the distance varies directly with time.
In a direct variation, the equation takes the form of:
d = k * t
Where "k" represents the constant of proportionality. In this case, the constant of proportionality is given as 18. Therefore, the equation becomes:
d = 18 * t
So, this equation represents the proportional relationship between the distance traveled (d) and the time spent walking (t) in this particular scenario.
