Latoya drove her go-kart around a track 3 times. She drove a total of 7.8 kilometers.
(a)Let d be the distance around the track (in kilometers). Write an equation that can be used to find . First choose an appropriate form. Then fill in the blanks with the letter d and the numbers 3 and 7.8 .
(b)Solve your equation for to find the distance around the track.
(a) The appropriate form for the equation would be:
3d = 7.8
(b) To solve the equation for d:
Divide both sides of the equation by 3:
d = 7.8 / 3
Simplifying the expression:
d = 2.6 kilometers
Therefore, the distance around the track is 2.6 kilometers.
(a) To find the equation, we can use the formula for the total distance covered by Latoya:
Total distance = Number of laps * Distance per lap
Let's choose an appropriate form for the equation:
Total distance = d * 3
Since Latoya drove a total of 7.8 kilometers around the track, we can write the equation as:
7.8 = d * 3
(b) To solve the equation for d, we need to isolate the variable.
Divide both sides of the equation by 3:
7.8/3 = d * 3/3
2.6 = d
Therefore, the distance around the track, d, is 2.6 kilometers.
(a) The equation that can be used to find the distance around the track is:
3d = 7.8
(b) To solve the equation for d, we can divide both sides by 3:
d = 7.8 / 3
Therefore, the distance around the track is approximately 2.6 kilometers.
