Question

Brenna cycles 8 kilometers during each trip to work. Write an equation that shows the relationship between the number of trips to work x and the total distance cycled y.

Answer 1

Answer:

$y=8x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance cycled by Brenna for 1 trip = $8 \textrm{ km}$

Total number of trips = $x$

Total distance cycled for $x$ trips = $y$

∵ Distance cycled for 1 trip = $8 \textrm{ km}$

∴ Distance cycled for $x$ trips = $8\times x=8x$

But, distance cycled for $x$ trips = $y$.

So, $y = 8x$.

Therefore, the relationship between the number of trips to work $x$ and the total distance cycled $y$ is $y=8x$.
