We need to write an equation to show how distance and time t are related to travel at each speed.
Let the distance = d
Time = t
Speed = s
Speed is the distance over time:
So,
[tex]s=\frac{d}{t}[/tex]Solve the equation for d
so, the general relation will be:
[tex]d=s\cdot t[/tex]When s = 50 miles per hour, the equation will be:
[tex]d=50t[/tex]when s = 55 miles per hour, the equation will be:
[tex]d=55t[/tex]when s = 60 miles per hour, the equation will be:
[tex]d=60t[/tex]
