James built a small electric car and recorded the distance it traveled. The table below shows the distance traveled (n) during the first 4 seconds after starting (f). Elapsed Time (seconds) Distance Traveled (feet) 1 6.2 2 12.4 3 18.6 4 24.8 Which of the following equations represents the relationship between the distance traveled and the elapsed time? f = 6.2 + n n = 6.2 + f f = 6.2n n = 6.2f
Accepted Solution
A:
Table
Elapsed
Time (seconds) Distance Traveled (feet)
1 6.2
2 12.4
3 18.6
4 24.8
Explanation:
You can check that 6.2 / 1 = 12.4 / 2 = 18.6 / 3 = 24.8 / 4 = 6.2
So, the relationship between the distance traveled and the time elapsed is a constant:
