Alanna went for a run. She ran d kilometers at an average speed of v kilometers per hour, and then walked to cool down for 0.25 hours. The total duration of the trip was t hours.Write an equation that relates d,v, and t.
Q. Alanna went for a run. She ran d kilometers at an average speed of v kilometers per hour, and then walked to cool down for 0.25 hours. The total duration of the trip was t hours.Write an equation that relates d,v, and t.
Calculate Time Spent: Determine the time spent running.The time spent running can be calculated by dividing the distance by the average speed.Time spent running = Average speedDistance
Express in Terms of d and v: Express the time spent running in terms of d and v. Using the formula from Step 1, we have: Time spent running = vd
Account for Walking Time: Account for the time spent walking.Alanna walked to cool down for 0.25 hours, which is a known duration and does not depend on d or v.Time spent walking = 0.25 hours
Write Total Duration Equation: Write the equation for the total duration of the trip.The total duration of the trip t is the sum of the time spent running and the time spent walking.Total duration t = Time spent running + Time spent walking
Substitute Expressions: Substitute the expressions for time spent running and walking into the equation for total duration.Using the expressions from Steps 2 and 3, we get:t=vd+0.25
