Clara has driven 70,000 miles in her car. On average, she drives 26 miles every day. Write a rule that represents her miles driven m as a function of time d.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]m(d)=26\ d[/tex]  

where [tex]m[/tex] represents miles driven

and [tex]d[/tex] represents number of days driven.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total distance driven in miles = 70,000

Average distance driven each day = 26 miles

Taking average as unit rate of miles covered per day.

∴ we can say the car covers 26 miles per day.

Using unitary method to find miles driven in [tex]d[/tex] days.

In 1 day miles driven = 26

In [tex]d[/tex] days miles driven = [tex]26\times d =26\ d[/tex]

So, to find [tex]m[/tex] miles driven the expression can be written as:

[tex]m(d)=26\ d[/tex]
