Write a function that models the following description: A man drove a total of 40 miles over a 2-hour period. (1 point)
Let's assume the function is named "calculate_speed".
The function will take two arguments: distance and time.
The input for distance will be 40 miles, and the input for time will be 2 hours.
So, the function definition will look like this:
```python
def calculate_speed(distance, time):
```
To calculate the speed, we'll use the formula speed = distance / time.
```python
def calculate_speed(distance, time):
speed = distance / time
return speed
```
Now, let's test the function with the given inputs:
```python
distance = 40
time = 2
result = calculate_speed(distance, time)
print("Speed:", result, "miles/hour")
```
Output:
Speed: 20.0 miles/hour
So, the function "calculate_speed" models the given description and returns the speed at which the man drove.
To write a function that models the given description, we need to determine the relationship between the distance traveled and the time taken. In this case, we know that the man drove a total of 40 miles over a 2-hour period.
Let's define the function "distance" (d) as a function of time (t), where d is in miles and t is in hours. We can write the function as:
d(t) = 40 / 2
Simplifying this expression:
d(t) = 20t
Thus, the function that models the given description is d(t) = 20t, where d represents the distance traveled in miles and t represents the time taken in hours.
To write a function that models the given description, we can define the relationship between the distance and time in terms of rate or speed. The formula to calculate speed is:
speed = distance / time
In this case, the man drove a total of 40 miles over a 2-hour period. So, the speed of the man's driving can be calculated as:
speed = 40 miles / 2 hours
Therefore, we can write the function in Python as:
```python
def calculate_speed(distance, time):
speed = distance / time
return speed
```
To use this function, you can simply call it with the given distance (40 miles) and time (2 hours) as arguments:
```python
distance = 40
time = 2
speed_result = calculate_speed(distance, time)
print(speed_result)
```
The output will be the speed in miles per hour.
