Question

Lola drives her car at 35 miles per hour. Write an equation using two variables to show the relationship between the number of hours she drives, t
, and the total distance, d
, she drives, after 6 hours.(1 point)
Responses

t=35+d
; 41 miles
t equals 35 plus d ; 41 miles

d=35t
; 210 miles
d equals 35 t ; 210 miles

t=35d
; 210 miles
t equals 35 d ; 210 miles

d=35t
; 180 miles

1 answer

The relationship between the number of hours Lola drives, \( t \), and the total distance she drives, \( d \), can be represented by the equation:

\[ d = 35t \]

This indicates that the distance \( d \) is equal to the speed (35 miles per hour) multiplied by the time \( t \) in hours.

If you want to find the distance after 6 hours, you would substitute \( t = 6 \) into the equation:

\[ d = 35(6) = 210 \text{ miles} \]

So, the correct answer is:

d = 35t; 210 miles

This reflects the equation and the distance she drives after 6 hours.
