Question

Ava wants to figure out the average speed she is driving. She starts checking her car’s clock at mile marker 0. It takes her 4 minutes to reach mile marker 3. When she reaches mile marker 6, she notes that 8 minutes total have passed since mile marker 0. What is the average speed of the car in miles per minute? What is an equation of the line that represents n, the number of mile marker passed, as a function of t, time in minutes? PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed is given by the following formula:

● V = d/t

● d is the distance covered

● t is the time spent to cover the distance d

Ava takes 8 minutes to go from mile marker 0 to mile marker6.

● the distance Ava traveled is 6 miles

● the time Ava spent to reach mile marker 6 is 8 minutes

So the average speed of Ava is:

● V = 6/ 8 = 3/4 = 0.75 mile per min

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

Let's The equation of the line that links the number of milemarkers (n) and the time (t).

Ava went from mile marker 0 to mile marker 6.

At t=0 Ava just started travelling from mile marker 0 to 1.

Afrer 8 minutes,she was at mile marker 6.

So 8 min => 6 mile markers (igonring mile marker 0 since the distance there was 0 mile)

6/8= 0.75

Then n/t = 0.75

● n = 0.75 * t

Let's check

● n= 0.75*4 = 3

That's true since after 4 minutes Ava was at mile marker 3.
