an african elephant can run 15 mph write and equation using two variables to show the relationship between the how many hours the elephant runs

2 answers

Let's use the variables 𝑑 and 𝑡, where 𝑑 represents the distance the elephant travels and 𝑡 represents the time it takes to travel that distance.

The formula for speed is:

𝑠 = 𝑑/𝑡

Here, 𝑠 represents the speed (in miles per hour), 𝑑 represents the distance traveled (in miles), and 𝑡 represents the time taken to travel that distance (in hours).

We know that the African elephant can run at a speed of 15 mph. So, we can plug in 𝑠 = 15 in the above equation and get:

15 = 𝑑/𝑡

To solve for 𝑑, we can multiply both sides by 𝑡:

𝑑 = 15𝑡

So, the equation that shows the relationship between the distance the elephant travels and the time it takes to travel that distance is 𝑑 = 15𝑡.
