Translate the following sentence into an equation. "The distance traveled is the speed multiplied by the time." a) d = v * t a) d = v * t b) Δx = v * Δt c) v = d/t d) d=Δx*t

The correct answer is A) d = v * t

Explanation:

When writing an equation the goal is to represent the equality between different mathematical expressions or elements. Due to this, in an equation the symbol = is always used. Additionally, to translate a sentence into an equation, the variables should be represented using numbers or letters.

For example, in the sentence "The distance traveled is the speed multiplied by the time" there are three variables mentioned: distance, speed, and time. Also, these can be represented through the letters d (distance), v (speed or velocity), and t (time). Besides this, the sentence explains speed should be multiplied by time, which means it should be written as v × t or v * t and this is equivalent (=) to distance or t. According to this, the final equation would be d = v * t.
