A family goes on a trip. They drive 65 mph. Write an equation using two variables to show the relationship between the number of hours driven, h

Question

, and the total amount of miles driven, m
. How far did they drive after 7 hours?(1 point)
Equation:

Miles driven:

Answer 1

To describe the relationship between the number of hours driven \( h \) and the total amount of miles driven \( m \), we can use the following linear equation:

\[ m = 65h \]

This equation states that the total miles driven \( m \) is equal to the speed (65 miles per hour) multiplied by the number of hours driven \( h \).

Now, to find out how far they drove after 7 hours, we can substitute \( h \) with 7 in the equation:

\[ m = 65 \times 7 \]

Calculating that:

\[ m = 455 \]

So, after 7 hours, they drove 455 miles.
