Florian ran 1.2 miles and walked 4.8 laps around the path at the park for a total distance of 3.6 miles. Which shows the correct
equation and value of x, the distance of 1 lap around the path at the park? 3.6 x + 1.2 = 4.8; x = 1 mile 4.8 x + 1.2 = 3.6; x = 1 mile 3.6 x + 1.2 = 4.8; x = 0.5 mile 4.8 x + 1.2 = 3.6; x = 0.5 mile
The correct answer would be D) 4.8x + 1.2 = 3.6; x = 0.5 mile
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because laps would be the dependent variable, so we know the number of them (4.8) would be multiplied by the variable (x). We also know that 1.2 is the constant. Now we can solve to make sure this is the right equation.
The price of 1 shirt is x and 5 shirts is 5x but she pays for only 3 of them. You would divide 5 by 3 giving you 3/5 which would be the cost of all the shirts
