Question

the leatherback sea turtle is the fastest known reptile, with a maximum speed of 21.92 miles per hour (mph).
Which of the following equations, where d is distance in miles and t is time in hours, represents a speed that is less than that of the leatherback sea turtle?

Select all that apply.
a. d = 2.192t
b. d = 20t
c. d = 22t
d. d = 30t

Answer 2

ill help

Answer 3

Now we want to know the total distance so that would make this...\[D=\]Now we know that a sea turtle travels at 21.92 miles per hour so how would you place that into the equation?

Answer 4

okay which one u think it is

Answer 5

Also we see that each of these answers are rounded meaning we should round 21.92...

Answer 6

sorryyy i had to do something im back now @563blackghost @Prettygirl_shynice

Answer 8

how far you travel in a given time here is how fast you are moving times how long you moving

distance = rate * time


which has a rate less than the turtle?

Answer 9

ohh ok

Answer 10

im a little confused

Answer 11

it is just a line like y = m*x graphed on Distance vs Time Graph

The constant velocity is the slope, how fast distance is changing
the larger the slope, the faster the velocity

Answer 12

ohhhhhh i seeee

Answer 13

but how will i find out which ones are the answer

Answer 14

more general saying, 'rate of change' , y vs x, distance vs time, ... exe, just slope

pick the answers with a smaller velocity,

Turtle - 21.92 mi/h

Answer 15

2.192
20
22
30

Answer 16

is it 20?

Answer 17

yes 20 mi/h is less than 21.92 mi/h

one more

Answer 18

22

Answer 19

no 22 is larger than 21.92

They are A and B, 2.192 and 20 mi/h both are less than the turtles 21.92 speed

Answer 20

oh my mistake

Answer 21

thank youuuuu sooo much @DanJS
