For the first question:Using the distance=rate x time formula (d=rt). Your equation would be y=38x. The 38 comes from the kathryn’s speed(rate).
For the second question: because you know the distance is now 53 substitute 53 for y and solve. 53=38x. Where x represents her time. She travels the 53 miles at a rate of 38mi/h (53 divided by 38) and solve in terms of hours 1.3947or rounded to the nearest tenth 1.4 which in terms of hours is 1 hour 24 minutes.
