A family goes on a trip. They drive 65 mph. Write an equation using two variables to show the relationship between the number of hours driven, h , and the total amount of miles drive, m . How far did they drive after 7 hours?
The equation for the relationship between the number of hours driven, h, and the total amount of miles driven, m, is:
m = 65h
To calculate how far they drove after 7 hours, we substitute h = 7 into the equation:
m = 65 * 7
m = 455 miles
Therefore, after driving for 7 hours, the family drove a total of 455 miles.
