The equation that represents the distance (d) Allison has left to drive after h hours is given by: Option C: d = 380 - 60h
How to form mathematical expression from the given description?
You can represent the unknown amounts by the use of variables. Follow whatever the description is and convert it one by one mathematically. For example if it is asked to increase some item by 4 , then you can add 4 in that item to increase it by 4. If something is for example, doubled, then you can multiply that thing by 2 and so on methods can be used to convert description to mathematical expressions.
We're given that:
- Allison lives 380 miles from her grandmother
- She will drive an average of 60 miles per hour.
- Distance that Allison has left to drive represented by 'd' (in miles) after h hours.
In 1 hour, she averagely covers 60 miles.
In h hours, she averagely covers [tex]60 \times h[/tex] hours
d = distance remaining for her to reach to her grandmother's home after h hours of driving
d = Total distance - distance traveled in h hours
d = 380 - 60×h
(sign of multiplication is often hidden if there are non numeric symbols and numbers being multiplied are written together, so 60×h can be simply written 60h)
Thus, the equation that represents the distance (d) Allison has left to drive after h hours is given by: Option C: d = 380 - 60h
