Diane drove around a go-kart track 5 times. The distance around the track is 1.5 kilometers.

Question

(a)Let d be the total distance Diane drove (in kilometers). Write an equation that can be used to find d. First choose an appropriate form. Then fill in the blanks with the letter d and the numbers 5 and 1.5.

(b)Solve your equation for d to find the total distance Diane drove.

Answer 1

(a) The equation that can be used to find d is d = 5 * 1.5

(b) Solving the equation, we have:

d = 5 * 1.5

d = 7.5

Therefore, the total distance Diane drove is 7.5 kilometers.
