Larry spends a total of 45 minutes running. He begins at a pace of 8 miles per hour and then reduces his speed to 5 miles per hour. Let t represent the number of minutes Larry spent running at the faster pace. Larry models his distance with the expression 8t+5(45−t) to model the situation. Did Larry correctly model the situation

Answer:

Yes, he did

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:.

Total time = 45

At time t, he moves at 8mph.

This gives: 8t

The time left is: 45 - t and he moves at 5mph, this gives 5(45 - t).

Hence, the total is

8t + 5(45 - t)

By comparison, we can conclude that Larry modeled the situation correctly.
