To determine how many miles John runs per hour, we need to find the value of x in the equation 4y=26.2x when y=1 (since we want to find the number of miles he runs per hour).
Plugging in y=1, we have:
4(1) = 26.2x
4 = 26.2x
To isolate x, divide both sides of the equation by 26.2:
4/26.2 = x/1
0.15267176 = x
So, John runs approximately 0.1527 miles per hour.
John runs a marathon (26.2 miles) in 4 hours. Determine how many miles he runs per hour if the proportional relationship is represented by 4y=26.2x.
