Chapter 4, Problem 23CCSR

To determine

To frame: Equation that represents the relationship between the number of miles Pedro ran and Cierra ran

Answer to Problem 23CCSR

  $p=\frac{3}{4}c+2$

Explanation of Solution

Given information: Pedro ran 2 more miles than ¾ of number of miles that Cierra ran.

Calculation:

Let ‘ p’ be the number of miles Pedro ran and ‘c’ be the number of miles Cierra ran

First we calculate ¾ of the number of miles that Cierra ran

  $\begin{array}{l}\frac{3}{4}·Cierra\_ran\\ \frac{3}{4}c\end{array}$

Pedro ran 2 more miles than $\frac{3}{4}c$ . Add 2 with the expression, we shall get

  $p=\frac{3}{4}c+2$

  $$
