b. Sam's time running is 20.55 - t

c. 20.55 hours

d. Sam's total distance is 138.2 - 8·t

Which method is used for writing expressions?

Given:

The length of the run aton = 138.2 miles

Fred's average bike speed = 8 miles per hour

Time at which the bike race begins = 6:00 a.m.

Time Sam will finish the run = 2:33 a.m. the next morning

a. The time Fred takes to complete the bike race = t

  • Fred's total distance in miles = t hours × 8 mph = 8·t miles

b. 2:33 = 2.55 hours after midnight

The total time = 24 - 6 + 2.55 = 20.55

The total time of the race = 20.55 hours

  • The time Sam spends running = 20.55 - t

c.  Time to complete the run = 24 - 6 + 2.55 = 20.55

  • The number of hours it will take them to complete the run is 20.55 hours

d. The total distance Sam runs, d = 138.2 miles - 8·t miles

Which gives;

  • Sam's total distance, d = 138.2 - 8·t
