Q. Alanna went for a run. She ran d d kilometers at an average speed of v v kilometers per hour, and then walked to cool down for 00.2525 hours. The total duration of the trip was t t hours.\newlineWrite an equation that relates d,v d, v , and t t .
  1. Calculate Time Spent: Determine the time spent running.\newlineThe time spent running can be calculated by dividing the distance by the average speed.\newlineTime spent running = DistanceAverage speed\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Average speed}}
  2. Express in Terms of dd and vv: Express the time spent running in terms of dd and vv. Using the formula from Step 11, we have: Time spent running = dv\frac{d}{v}
  3. Account for Walking Time: Account for the time spent walking.\newlineAlanna walked to cool down for 0.250.25 hours, which is a known duration and does not depend on dd or vv.\newlineTime spent walking = 0.250.25 hours
  4. Write Total Duration Equation: Write the equation for the total duration of the trip.\newlineThe total duration of the trip tt is the sum of the time spent running and the time spent walking.\newlineTotal duration tt = Time spent running + Time spent walking
  5. Substitute Expressions: Substitute the expressions for time spent running and walking into the equation for total duration.\newlineUsing the expressions from Steps 22 and 33, we get:\newlinet=dv+0.25t = \frac{d}{v} + 0.25
