(a) To represent the relationship between D (distance) and L (number of laps), we can see that the distance increases by 7 kilometers for each additional lap. Therefore, we can represent this relationship with the equation D = 7L.
(b) The correct statement to represent this relationship is: Kaitlin is driving 7 kilometers per lap.
Kaitlin is driving laps around a race track. The table below shows the relationship between the distance D (in kilometers) and the number of laps L that Kaitlin has driven.
Number of laps 1 2 3 4
Distance
(kilometers) 5 12 18 24
(a)For the information in the table, write an equation to represent the relationship between D and L.
(b)Choose the correct statement to represent this relationship.
Kaitlin is driving 1 kilometer per 6 laps.
Kaitlin is driving 1/6 kilometers per lap.
Kaitlin is driving 6 kilometers per lap.
Kaitlin is driving 1 kilometer per lap.
