Lola drives her car at 35 miles per hour. Write an equation using two variables to show the relationship between the number of hours she drives. t, and the total distance, d, she drives, after 6 hours.

Answer 1

The formula for distance is:

distance = rate × time

In this case, Lola's rate is 35 miles per hour, and the time is the number of hours she drives, which we'll call "t". So the equation for the distance she drives after "t" hours is:

d = 35t

After driving for 6 hours, we can substitute "6" for "t" to find the total distance Lola has driven:

d = 35(6)
d = 210

So after driving for 6 hours at a rate of 35 miles per hour, Lola has driven a total of 210 miles.
