Q. 16B+3.5W=22Antoine bikes part of the way on a 22 mile trail and walks the rest of the way. If he spends B hours biking and W hours walking, the trip is modeled by the equation shown. What is the meaning of the 16B in the equation?Choose 1 answer:(A) Antoine travels a total of 16B miles.(B) Antoine bikes for a total of 16B hours.(C) Antoine bikes for 16B miles.(D) Antoine rides his bike at an average speed of 16B miles per hour.
Total Distance Modeled: The equation models the total distance Antoine travels, which is 22 miles.
Distance Antoine Bikes: The term 16B must represent the distance Antoine bikes because it's multiplied by the time B he spends biking.
Speed Calculation: Since the unit for B is hours, the coefficient 16 must represent the speed in miles per hour.
Calculation Explanation: Therefore, 16B means Antoine bikes for 16 miles per hour times the number of hours he bikes.
