Question

In ten minutes he traveled 8 miles Write the equation for the relationship between x and y.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The trick here is to make sure that the units are standard units, like miles / hour.

10 minutes = 10 / 60 hours.

k = 1/6 of an hour

y = k x

k = y/x

k = 8 miles / 1/6 of an hour

k = 8 * 6 // 1/6 * 6

k = 48 miles / hr

y = k x

y = 48 * x
