A freight train is traveling at a constant speed. The table below shows how far the train travels after different amounts of time. What is the unit rate? (6.RP.2c)
Distance (miles) / Time (hours)
20 / 2
Unit rate = 10 miles per hour
hey man, so i did the math. pretty sure its 40 miles per hour
T D D=Tx40=10x4=10+10+10+10
2 80
3 120
5 200
8 320
and from doing the math i ended up with 40.
To determine the unit rate, we need to look at the relationship between the time and distance traveled. We can calculate the unit rate by dividing the distance traveled by the corresponding time.
Based on the information given in the table, we have:
Time (hours) Distance Traveled (miles)
1 35
2 70
3 105
To find the unit rate, we can choose any pair of time and distance values and divide the distance by the time. Let's choose the pair (1, 35):
Unit rate = Distance / Time
= 35 miles / 1 hour
= 35 miles/hour
Therefore, the unit rate is 35 miles per hour.
To find the unit rate, we need to determine how much distance the train travels per unit of time.
Let's look at the table:
Time (minutes) Distance (miles)
10 30
15 45
20 60
To find the unit rate, divide the distance by the time.
For the first row: 30 miles ÷ 10 minutes = 3 miles per minute.
For the second row: 45 miles ÷ 15 minutes = 3 miles per minute.
For the third row: 60 miles ÷ 20 minutes = 3 miles per minute.
Since the distance traveled per unit of time is the same for all rows, the unit rate is 3 miles per minute.
