Question

Neishai jogs around the block four times every hour. What is the algebraic equation to express the function of the total number of times Neishai jogs around the block?A.4j = hB.j = 4hC.h = 4jD.4 = j + h

Answer 1

Let j be the number of times Neishai jogs in h hours.

It is given that Neishai jogs around the block 4 times every hour. This means that after 1 hour, she jogs 4 times. After 2 hours, she jogs:

$2\times4=8\text{ times}$

After 3 hours, she jogs:

$3\times4=12\text{ times}$

After h hours, she jogs:

$h\times4=4h\text{ times}$

Therefore, the number of times Neishai jogs around the block is given using the equation:

$j=4h$

OPTION B is the correct option.
