Answer 1

Haler ran farther than Tyler in 10 minutes. She covered an extra 0.05 miles compared to Tyler.

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two numbers and variables.

An independent variable is a variable that does not depend on any other variable for its value whereas a dependent variable is a variable that depend on any other variable for its value.

Tyler can run 1 mile in 8 minutes and 20 seconds.

Time taken = 8 mins + 20 sec (0.33 min) = 8.33 minutes

Speed = distance / time = 1 mile / 8.33 = 0.12 mile per min

In 10 minutes, distance = 0.12 mile per min * 10 min = 1.2 mile

Haler is given by:

y = 8x; where y is time and x is distance.

In 10 minutes, distance = y/8 = 10/8 = 1.25 miles

Haler ran farther than Tyler in 10 minutes. She covered an extra 0.05 miles compared to Tyler.
