Question
You are traveling home from work. You are describing the distance as you walk home. Your house is 23 blocks away, and you walk 2 blocks per minute. Create a linear equation that represents the situation. How many minutes will it take, to the nearest minute, to get home?
Answers
GPT 3.5
The linear equation representing the situation is:
Distance = Rate x Time
Distance = 23 blocks
Rate = 2 blocks per minute
Time = unknown
Therefore, the equation becomes:
23 = 2t
To solve for t (time), divide both sides by 2:
23/2 = t
t = 11.5 minutes
Since time must be a whole number of minutes, round up to the nearest minute:
It will take 12 minutes to get home.
