Question

A coyote can run up to 43 miles per hour while a rabbit can run up to 35 miles per hour. write two equivalent expressions and then find how many more miles a coyote can run in six hours than a rabbit at these rates.

Answer 1

Coyote - 43 mph

Rabbit - 35 mph

If each animal runs a certain amount of speed PER HOUR, then you want to multiply each of their speeds PER HOUR by the 6 hours, so let's get started! :D

Coyote - 43 x 6 = 258 miles per 6 hours

Rabbit - 35 x 6 = 210 miles per 6 hours

NOW, we can get to the last part!

     258 - 210 = 48

We now know that the coyote runs 48 miles per 6 hours faster than a rabbit! :D
