None of the provided equations accurately represents the relationship between the number of miles and time. To find the equation, we can first calculate the rate at which the person is running in miles per minute for the two runs.
On Monday, the rate is 4 miles / 40 minutes = 0.1 miles per minute.
On Wednesday, the rate is 2 miles / 16 minutes = 0.125 miles per minute.
Now, since we are looking for the time (x) it took for the fastest run during the week, we need to find the higher rate between the two.
The higher rate is 0.125 miles per minute. Therefore, the correct equation is:
Y = 0.125x
You are training twice a week for a race. On Monday, you go 4 miles in 40 minutes. then on Wednesday you go 2 miles in 16 minutes
Write an equation where y is the number of miles as x is the time in minutes for the day you ran fastest for the week.
Responses:
Y = 0.1 x
Y= 10 x
Y= 0.125 x
Y = 8 x
