i don’t know if your school does PEMDAS but it stands for parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and then subtraction. so you would multiply, then add, and then subtract.

A student on the cross- county team runs 30 minutes a day as a part of her training. Write an equation to describe the relations

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

A student on the cross- county team runs 30 minutes a day as a part of her training. Write an equation to describe the relationship between the distance she runs in miles, D, and her running speed, in miles per hour, when she runs at a constant speed of 5.4miles per hour for m minutes, and then at b miles per hour for n minutes

Solution:

Given that the student runs for a total of 30 minutes per day. He runs at 5.4 miles per hour for m minutes, and then at b miles per hour for n minutes.

Hence:

m + n = 30

60 minute = 1 hour. Therefore, m minute = m/60 hour, n minute = n/60 hour.

The distance traveled is the product the speed in miles per hour and the time taken to cover the distance. Distance = speed * time

The total distance ran (D) is:

D = 5.4(m/60) + b(n/60)
