In Jordon's problem, there are three variables: distance, speed, and time. He knows
the distance, or number of miles he wants to drive each day - but the speed limit
depends on the state he's in, and time depends on the speed limit.
When you define the variables in Jordon's problem and set up an equation to solve,
you're creating a literal equation. A literal equation is an equation that involves two
or more variables.
A special kind of literal equation is a formula, which describes an important
mathematical relationship. You are already familiar with a variety of formulas,
including those for area and perimeter.
In 10 words or fewer name the formula that Jordon might use to find
how many hours he will drive each day.
