Question

Scientists estimate the rate of a wildebeest running at full speed to be 66 feet per second. Write a function rule to describe the relationship between the time, t, and the distance, d, a wildebeest travels when running at full speed.

Answer 1

The function rule that would describe the relationship between the time, t, and the distance, d, a wildebeest travels when running at full speed is (d=rt). This is distance traveled is equal to the rate times the time traveled. Therefore, the answer would be d=66t for r=66/s.
