Question

(a)Let d be the distance around the track (in kilometers). Write an equation that can be used to find d . First choose an appropriate form. Then fill in the blanks with the letter d and the numbers 4 and 9.6.

Answer 1

To find the distance around the track (d), we can use the relationship between distance, speed, and time. The equation relating these quantities is:

\[
d = \text{speed} \times \text{time}
\]

If we consider a speed of 4 km/h and a time of 9.6 hours, the equation can be filled in as follows:

\[
d = 4 \, \text{(km/h)} \times 9.6 \, \text{(h)}
\]

So the appropriate equation to find the distance \( d \) around the track is:

\[
d = 4 \times 9.6
\]

You can compute \( d \) to find the total distance.
