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

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

Miles driven:

1 answer

The relationship between the number of hours driven \( h \) and the total amount of miles driven \( m \) can be expressed with the following equation:

\[ m = 65h \]

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

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

\[ m = 65 \times 7 \]

Calculating that gives us:

\[ m = 455 \]

So, they drove 455 miles after 7 hours.
