How do you express the distance traveled in terms of time?
Jason leaves Detroit at 2:00pm and drives at a constant speed west along I-96. He passes Ann Arbor, 40 mi from Detroit, at 2:50pm.
How would I express the distance traveled in terms of the time elapsed?
A-Best: Distance travelled = speed x time
A: Dude, no way!
I travel I-96. 40 miles in 50 minutes?
That's like 48 miles per hour?
No one drives that slow on 96!
Jason would be run off the road.
He better take Ford Road (153) or Michigan Avenue (US 12).
.
A: time elapsed=50 minutes
1 hour=60 minute
50 minutes=(1/60)*50 =(5/6)minutes
let the speed be v.
40=v*(5/6)
