You are training twice a week for a race. On Monday, you go 4 miles in 40 minutes. Then on Wednesday you go 2 miles in 16 minutes. Write an equation where y is the number of miles and x is the time in minutes for the day you ran the fastest for the week.

Answer 1

Let's assume that the fastest day you ran during the week is on Monday.

The equation would be:

y = 4 - (x/10)

Where:
- x represents the time in minutes (since 40 minutes = 4 miles, we divide x by 10 to keep the same ratio)
- y represents the number of miles you ran on that day

Please note that this equation assumes a linear relationship between time and distance for your running speed.
