A bus is traveling at a constant speed along a straight portion of road. The equation d = 30t gives the distance d, in feet from a road marker, that the bus will be t seconds after passing the marker. How many feet from the marker will the bus be 2 seconds after passing the marker?

Correct answer: C. 60

  • A. 30
  • B. 32
  • C. 60
  • D. 90

Explanation

Choice C is correct. It's given that t represents the number of seconds after the bus passes the marker. Substituting 2 for t in the given equation d = 30t yields d = 30 (2), or d =60. Therefore, the bus will be 60 feet from the marker 2 seconds after passing it.
