Question

Anybody wanna help me?

Answer 1

Any thoughts on the relationship between distance and time?

Answer 2

Not really, Im kind of completely lost on this, That's why im posting it here.

Answer 3

distance = rate * time

Answer 4

Sorry if it says im typing, im really not. xD

Answer 5

Oh ok. Do you see the formula I posted?

Answer 6

Yes.

Answer 7

Cool. Any thoughts on how to use it?

Answer 8

Phht, Your asking me? Not to be rude , xD I suck at math.
No not really....... Let me look at my question and look a the formula

Answer 9

Sounds good. And yes. I am asking you. Since you will learn most effectively by thinking through any step in the process that you can do yourself. :-)

Answer 10

Yeah, I've met many OpenStudiers like you, im actually not new, I had another account and been wanting to make a new account for a very long time and since I got kicked from math today I just did it. Sorry if I posted this twice I am lagging

Answer 11

And anyway, I looked at it, im completely clueless xD @JoannaBlackwelder

Answer 12

I don't really care if you are new or not. The principle applies. We are trying to make an equation with distance and time as the only variables. That is what it means to make a rule for the function of relating distance d and time t.

Answer 13

Do you see what variable is given in the problem as a constant since we are given a value for it?

Answer 14

i would help if i could but i suck at math lol

Answer 15

Understandable, Why do you think im asking the question?

Answer 16

hahah

Answer 17

You can suck at math and still give an effort. Even just a guess...

Answer 18

im back. xD

Answer 19

I apologize for being so blunt, and did not intend to depress you at all. I am intending to encourage you to work through the problem step by step. So, do you see where it says that the rate of the cheetah is 90 ft/second? What variable do you think that would be out of distance, rate, and time?

Answer 20

just keep answering these little questions and you'll get the answer-
(read the question before answering)

1st question-> how many feet does the cheetah travels in 1 second?

Answer 21

90, Since its 90 PER feet

Answer 22

PER second sorry

Answer 23

yes correct
now tell this->

question 2) how many feet do you think it will travel in 2 seconds if it travels 90 feet in 1 second?

Answer 24

180
90 + 90

Answer 25

yes correct
now do you know any relation between distance, speed and time?

Answer 26

Only relation ship I know is from the last guy,
distance = rate * time

Answer 27

yes correct!
so now well you know that the rate is 90 feet per second
so just put-> rate=90 in that relation
and then the equation that you would get is nothing but what the question 1 is asking for

Answer 28

Wait what do I put for #1, you confused me there.

Answer 29

okay so question 1 wants a rule/function which tells the distance "d" traveled in time "t" right

Answer 30

Yeah.

Answer 31

so we know this relation-

distance= rate * time

we know that the rate is 90 and we have to represent distance by "d" and time by "t" so=>

distance= rate* time
d= 90 *t

Answer 32

So is that what I would put?
distance= rate* time
d= 90 *t
??

Answer 33

yeah :)

Answer 34

okay now the 2nd one okay

Answer 35

for the second one they are asking - how much distance will be traveled in 25secs

Answer 36

90 x 25? xD

Answer 37

yes correct! :)

Answer 38

Sorry my website crashed.

Answer 39

@*Poker-Face* So anyway thank you SO much for your help.

Answer 40

good job
