Here's the instructions for my portfolio:
1.
Choose
two animals with different speeds. You can choose fro
m the
chart
that starts at the bottom of this page or do research to choose your own.
2.
Design a fair
race in which the two animals have an equal chance of winning
if they race at their top spee
d. Here are a few tips for your design:
a.
The race is fair if the two animals
could finish the race in the same
amount of time.
b.
You can give the slower animal a shorter distance to race.
c.
Since this is a video game, the race does not need to be realistic
—it
can be any length,
and the animals can run at a constant speed.
3.
Write
a system of two linear equations showing the distance each animal can
travel
to model the fair
race. Be sure to define all variables.
4.
Graph the system to prove that the two animals have an equal chance of
winning the race. Explain how the graph proves the race is fair.
It is in Unit 5, & I'd love some help. I wrote this: 25 and 50. Therefore if you do an even number for the race, such as a 4 mile race, you can set the 25MPH elephant half way through the race to start so they will finish at the same time
but I don't know how I'd do the linear equation for it. I've tried going back to review but i don't know what to do. Help?
