d, the distance in miles

1 answer

To find the distance \( d \) that Chloe drove in miles based on the time \( t \) in hours, we can use the equation for distance, which is given by the formula:

\[ d = r \cdot t \]

where \( r \) represents the rate of speed in miles per hour.

If Chloe drove at a rate of 50 miles per hour, we can substitute \( r \) with 50:

\[ d = 50t \]

So the equation to find the distance \( d \) that Chloe drove in miles if she drove for \( t \) hours is:

\[ d = 50t \]

This means Chloe's distance in miles can be calculated by multiplying the time she drove in hours (\( t \)) by the speed she drove, which is 50 miles per hour.
