Question

Family goes on a trip. They drive 65 miles per hour. Write an equation using two variables to show the relationship between the number of hours driven h and the total amount of miles drive m. How far did they drive after 7 hours

Answer 1

Let m represent the total amount of miles driven and h represent the number of hours driven.

The equation to show the relationship between the two variables is:

m = 65h

To find out how far they drove after 7 hours, we substitute h = 7 into the equation:

m = 65(7)

m = 455

So, the family drove 455 miles after 7 hours.
