Question

In 25 minutes, Jay can run 10 laps around the track. Write an equation to represent the relationship. A) y =. 2 5 x B) y =. 5 2 x C) y = x + 2 5 D) y = x + 5 2

Answer 1

Solution:

The word problem , can be solved by unitary method:

Total time = 25 minutes-------X Axis

Total Distance traveled= 10 Laps Around the track---------Y Axis

25 Minutes= 10 Laps

1 Lap  =2.5 Minute

→→y (Lap) = 2.5 x(Minute), where y is time taken, from x=0,1,2,3,......and y= Total number of Laps=0,1,2,3,4....

Answer 2

A
the answer is .25x
