1. The equation that represents distance Jamie will run in kilometers (d) at a rate of r kilometers per hour is d = 0.5r
2. The distance Jamie will run if he chooses a rate of 8 kilometers per hour is 4 Km
What is speed?
Speed is the distance travelled per unit. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:
Speed = distance / time
with the above formula, we give the various answers to questions. Details below
1. How to determine the equation
- Time = 1/2 = 0.5 hour
- Speed = r Km/h
- Distance = d Km
- Equation for the distance travelled =?
Speed = distance / time
r = d / 0.5
Cross multiply
d = r × 0.5
d = 0.5r
Thus, the equation to determine the distance travelled is d = 0.5r
How to determine the distance travelled
Using the equation d = 0.5r, we can determine the distance travelled at a rate of 8 Km/h as illustrated below:
- Time = 1/2 = 0.5 hour
- Speed (r) = 8 Km/h
- Distance (d) = ?
d = 0.5r
d = 0.5 × 8
d = 4 Km
Thus, the distance travelled at a rate of 8 Km/h in 1/2 hour is 4 km
