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)

Answer 1

To express the relationship between the number of hours driven (\(h\)) and the total miles driven (\(m\)), you can use the equation:

\[ m = 65h \]

where \(m\) is the total miles driven and \(h\) is the number of hours driven.

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

\[ m = 65 \times 7 \]

Calculating that:

\[ m = 455 \]

So, they drove 455 miles after 7 hours.
