The table shows the number of miles driven over time.
Time|Distance
4 |184
6 |276
8 |368
10 |460
Express the relationship between distance and time in simplified form as a unit rate. Determine which statement correctly interprets this relationship.
a. 184; your car travels 184 miles
b. 46/1; your car travels 46 miles in 1 hour<---my answer
c. 1/46; your car travels 46 miles in 1 hour
d. 4; your car travels for 4 hours
I think it's b, but I'm not 100% sure. Please help me whenever you get the chance. I will be patient :). Thank you!
Ah, hmmmm
1/46 is hours/mile
but 46/1 is miles/hour
which is a unit rate.
B and C are really the same, but I think B is the answer they want
its 1/46
X,Y. Time is ALWAYS on the x-axis.
no i think the answer is b
So was them is b or c?
Oh ok, I get it now. Thanks :)
To express the relationship between distance and time as a unit rate, we need to find the ratio of distance to time.
Let's take the first row of the table, where time is 4 and distance is 184. The unit rate can be found by dividing the distance by the time:
184 miles / 4 hours = 46 miles/hour.
So, the correct statement that interprets this relationship is option b: "46/1; your car travels 46 miles in 1 hour."
This means that for every 1 hour of driving, the car travels 46 miles.
The answer is C.
The common ratio in the table is .0217
You can determine this by just taking the time and dividing it by the distance.
Now you do the same for your answer choices. The only answer with the same ratio as the table is C because 1/46 = 0.217
