When golden eagles dive, they can achieve a speed of 150 miles per hour. Which of these equations represents the amount of time, t, in minutes that it takes a golden eagle to dive the distance, d, in miles?
A. t=2/5d
B. t=d+25
C. t=150d
D. t=5/2d
Please help me I have been stuck on this for hours
Uh, no idea
I think it might be D
see your previous post, of only a few minutes ago.
To determine the correct equation that represents the amount of time it takes a golden eagle to dive a certain distance, we need to consider the given information.
We know that the speed of the golden eagle when diving is 150 miles per hour. We also know that we want to express the time it takes in minutes.
The equation that relates speed, distance, and time is:
Speed = Distance / Time
Since the speed is given as 150 miles per hour, we can rewrite the equation as:
150 = d / t
To convert the speed from miles per hour to miles per minute, we need to divide it by 60 (since there are 60 minutes in an hour). Therefore, the equation becomes:
2.5 = d / t
Now, we have the equation in the form of d / t = 2.5. To solve for t, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. Multiplying both sides of the equation by t, we get:
t * (d / t) = t * 2.5
This simplifies to:
d = 2.5t
Now, we have the equation in terms of d and t, and we need to find the equation that represents time (t) in minutes. To accomplish this, we need to divide both sides of the equation by 2.5:
d / 2.5 = (2.5t) / 2.5
Simplifying further, we get:
d / 2.5 = t
So the correct equation is:
t = d / 2.5
Comparing this equation to the given options, we can see that the correct choice is:
A. t = 2/5d
