Answer:
x = [tex]\frac{2}{3}\times t[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We know the formula to represent the speed is,
Speed = [tex]\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}[/tex]
If a car travels the distance = [tex]\frac{7}{3}[/tex] miles in [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex] minutes then the speed will be
Speed = [tex]\frac{\frac{7}{3}}{\frac{7}{2}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{7}{3}\times \frac{2}{7}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] miles per minute
If the car travels x miles in t minutes then the equation to calculate the distance will be
[tex]\frac{2}{3}=\frac{x}{t}[/tex]
x = [tex]\frac{2}{3}\times t[/tex]
Therefore, the equation that represents the distance in terms of time will be
x = [tex]\frac{2}{3}\times t[/tex]
