Question 134609: An athlete runs a rate of 3 meters per second around a 400-meter track. Which equation best represents the distance covered if he has already run 2 laps?
A. D=400+3s
B. D=800+3s
C. D=800+6s
D. D=800-3s
You can put this solution on YOUR website! How long is the track? 400
How many laps has the runner already run? 2
The equation is asking for the total distance.
That distance is the distance already run + the distance run as time increases
