Question

lizzy rode her scooter at a constant speed. she rode 1 mile in 12 minutes. highlight the equation that represents the distance (d) in miles she will travel in a specific amount of minutes (t)?
$d = 12t$
$d = \frac{1}{12}t$
$d = t + 12$
$d = t - 12$

Explanation:

Step1: Identify speed relationship

Speed is distance over time, so speed $v = \frac{d}{t}$. Here, $d=1$ mile, $t=12$ minutes, so $v = \frac{1}{12}$ miles per minute.

Step2: Derive distance formula

Distance $d$ equals speed times time $t$. Substitute speed:
$d = \frac{1}{12}t$

Answer:

$\boldsymbol{d = \frac{1}{12}t}$
