Question

Julissa is running a 10-kilometer race at a constant pace. After running for 18 minutes, she completes 2 kilometers. After running for 54 minutes, she completes 6 kilometers. Her trainer writes an equation letting t, the time in minutes, represent the independent variable and k, the number of kilometers, represent the dependent variable.
Which equation can be used to represent k, the number of kilometers Julissa runs in t minutes?

Answer 1

So18 is to 2 and54 is to 6
18:2 and 54:6
18/2 and 54/6
simplify
9/1 and 9/1
she is running at the same rate

so we need to do
t times something=k
its eems that she divided the time by 9
so
1/9t=k

the equation is 1/9t=k
