The correct answer would be D) 4.8x + 1.2 = 3.6; x = 0.5 mile
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because laps would be the dependent variable, so we know the number of them (4.8) would be multiplied by the variable (x). We also know that 1.2 is the constant. Now we can solve to make sure this is the right equation.
4.8x + 1.2 = 3.6
4.8x = 2.4
x = 0.5
