Traveling with a speed of 70 mph, a car covered a distance D miles in T hours. Write an equation that relates the distance D this car travels in T hours. Use the equation to find the distance the car travels between 3:30 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.
Then what's the formula
can u tell me the actual equation
To find the equation that relates the distance traveled by the car in T hours, we use the formula:
distance = speed * time
Since the car is traveling at a speed of 70 mph, we substitute it into the formula:
distance = 70 * T
Now, to find the distance the car traveled between 3:30 p.m. and 5:00 p.m., we need to determine the time difference in hours.
From 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., there is 1 hour and 30 minutes (or 1.5 hours) of travel time.
Substitute this value into the equation:
distance = 70 * 1.5
Simplifying the equation:
distance = 105 miles
Therefore, the car travels a distance of 105 miles between 3:30 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.
distance = speed * time
now plug in your numbers
