Question

A car is traveling at a constant speed of 46 miles per hour. the formula for the distance traveled at the end of t hours is d=46t. Represent the distance at the end of 7,12, and 18 hours as ordered pairs in the form (t,d).

Answer 1

d = 46t

• First, let's find "d" for 7 hours.

           d = 46(7)

           d = 322 miles                          (7, 322)

• Next, let's find "d" for 12 hours.

            d = 46(12)

            d =   552 miles                      (12, 552)

• Finally, let's find "d" for 18 hours.

            d = 46(18)

           d = 828 miles                          (18, 828)
