Which of the following equations represents the total distance in miles, D, that it took the bus to travel in t hours, if the bus was driving at a rate of 30 miles per hour?
Responses
A t = 30D
B D = 30t
C D = 30/t
D t = 30/d
B D = 30t
To determine the equation that represents the total distance traveled by the bus in t hours at a rate of 30 miles per hour, we need to understand the relationship between distance, time, and speed.
Distance (D) can be calculated by multiplying the rate (speed) (r) by the time (t). In this case, the speed of the bus is 30 miles per hour, and the time is represented by t hours.
So, the equation would be:
D = r * t
Plug in the given values:
D = 30 * t
Therefore, the correct equation representing the total distance would be Option B: D = 30t.
The correct equation that represents the total distance in miles, D, that the bus traveled in t hours is:
B. D = 30t
