Q. This equation shows how the total distance Eric has walked depends on the number of trips he has made to school.d=8tThe variable t represents the number of trips he has made, and the variable d represents the total distance walked in kilometers. After 1 trip to school, how many kilometers will Eric have walked in total?_____ kilometers
Identify Eric's trip: Eric made 1 trip, so t=1.
Substitute t with 1: Substitute t with 1 in the equation d=8t to get d=8×1.
Calculate total distance: Calculate the total distance: d=8×1=8 kilometers.
