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 drive, m . How far did they drive after 7 hours?(1 point)

Answer 1

Let the total amount of miles driven be represented by m and the number of hours driven be represented by h .

The equation to show the relationship between the number of hours driven and the total amount of miles driven is:

m = 65h

To find out how far they drove after 7 hours, plug in the value of h as 7 into the equation:

m = 65(7)
m = 455

After 7 hours of driving at 65 mph, the family drove a total of 455 miles.
