Diane drove around a go-kart track 5 times. The distance around the track is 1.5 kilometers.
(a)Let d be the total distance Diane drove (in kilometers). Write an equation that can be used to find d. First choose an appropriate form. Then fill in the blanks with the letter d and the numbers 5 and 1.5.
(b)Solve your equation for d to find the total distance Diane drove.
(a) The equation that can be used to find d is d = 5 * 1.5
(b) Solving the equation, we have:
d = 5 * 1.5
d = 7.5
Therefore, the total distance Diane drove is 7.5 kilometers.
(a) The appropriate form of the equation to find the total distance Diane drove, d, is:
d = number of laps * distance per lap
Filling in the blanks with the letter d and the numbers 5 and 1.5, the equation becomes:
d = 5 * 1.5
(b) Solving the equation:
d = 5 * 1.5
d = 7.5
Therefore, the total distance Diane drove is 7.5 kilometers.
(a) The appropriate form of the equation is:
d = (number of times driven) * (distance around the track)
Fill in the blanks with the letter d and the numbers 5 and 1.5:
d = 5 * 1.5
(b) Solving the equation for d:
d = 5 * 1.5
d = 7.5
Therefore, the total distance Diane drove is 7.5 kilometers.
