Question

If Dakota lives 1,500 miles from school. She leaves for school walking at a speed of 60 meters per minuite. Write an equation for her distance D in meters from school after she walks for T minuites. How far is Dakota from school if she has been walking for 3 minuites?

Answer 1

Answer : R=1500−(60⋅t)
Explanation:
Total distance walked = 1500 meters.
Dakota's rate is 60 meters per minute.
The equation for distance walked over time = r⋅t .
Therefore the distance walked over time =
60 ⋅ t
The equation for distance remaining (let's call it R is 1500 −( 60 ⋅ t ). so the remaining distance to walk after a time t can be written as. "R = 1500 − ( 60 ⋅ t )
