Elena bikes 20 minutes each day for exercise. Write an equation to describe the relationship between her distance in miles, D, and her biking speed, in miles per hour, when she bikes: A.) At a constant speed of 13 miles per hour for the entire 20 minutes.

B.) At a constant speed of 15 miles per hour for the first 5 minutes, then at 12 miles per hour for the last 15 minutes.

C.) At a constant speed of M miles per hour for the first 5 minutes, then N miles per hour for the last 15 minutes.

The equation to describe the relationship between Elena distance:

a) D = 4.34 miles, b) D = 4.25 miles and c) 12D = M + 3N miles.

Solution:

Given, Elena bikes 20 minutes each day for exercise.  

We have to write an equation to describe the relationship between her distance in miles, D, and her biking speed, in miles per hour,  

We know that, distance travelled = speed  time

a. At a constant speed of 13 miles per hour for the entire 20 minutes  

Her speed is 13 miles per hour.  

Then, distance D miles = 13 miles per hour  20 minutes

b. At a constant speed of 15 minutes per hour for the first 5 minutes, then at 12 miles per hour for the last 15 minutes  

Now, total distance travelled = distance travelled with 15 mph + distance travelled with 12 mph

c. At a constant speed of M miles per hour for the first 5 minutes, then at N miles per hour for the last 15 minutes

Now, total distance travelled = distance travelled with M mph + distance travelled with N mph

Hence, a) D = 4.34 miles, b) D = 4.25 miles and c) 12D = M + 3N miles.
