A camel escaped from a local zoo 15 minutes ago. The zookeeper knows the camel can run 0.4 miles per minute. Replace the variable s in this equation with 0.4. Next, replace the variable t with 15. Now solve for d



Answer :

MathPhys

Answer:

d = 6 miles

Explanation:

Distance (d) is equal to speed (s) times time (t). The speed is s = 0.4 miles per minute, and the time is t = 15 minutes. Therefore, the distance is:

d = st

d = (0.4 mi/min) (15 min)

d = 6 mi

The camel ran 6 miles.

The student asked how to solve for the distance a camel could have run if it escaped from a zoo 15 minutes ago, running at a speed of 0.4 miles per minute.

To find the distance d, you substitute the given values into the distance formula, which is:

d = s [tex]\times[/tex] t

Here, s is the speed, and t is the time. Given s = 0.4 miles per minute and t = 15 minutes, the calculation will look like this:

d = 0.4 miles/minute [tex]\times[/tex] 15 minutes

Simplify the multiplication:

d = 6 miles

So, the camel has run 6 miles in 15 minutes.
