Taylor runs for 4 hours and covers a distance of 30 miles. Which equation is for a runner that is faster than Taylor, but would run less than 35 miles in 4 hours?
d = 6t
d= 7t
d= 8t
d = 9t



Answer :

Answer: C) d= 8t

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to find the speed of Taylor's run using the time and distance given:

[tex]30 = 4x\\/4=/4\\x = 7.5[/tex]

The next step is to find the speed of a runner going less than 35 miles in one hour.

[tex]35 > 4x\\/4 > /4\\x= 8.75[/tex]

Therefore, the equation for a runner faster than Taylor but less than 35 miles in 4 hours would be between 7.5 < x < 8.75.

The only equation that fits this is C) d = 8t.
