John runs a marathon (26.2 miles) in 4 hours. Determine how many miles he runs per hour if the proportional relationship is represented by 4y=26.2x .(1 point)

Question

CORRECT ANSWERS ONLY.

Answer 1

To find the number of miles John runs per hour, we need to solve for y in the equation 4y = 26.2x.

First, divide both sides of the equation by 4 to isolate y:
y = (26.2/4)x.

Since the equation represents a proportional relationship, the value of y represents the number of miles John runs per hour (miles/hour).

Therefore, John runs 26.2/4 miles per hour.

The simplified answer is:
John runs 6.55 miles per hour.
