Use the image to answer the question. The stretch of a spring in millimeters is proportional to the weight in grams attached to the end of the spring. Find the unit rate. (1 point)
We cannot see the image provided, so we cannot provide the unit rate in this case. However, based on the information given, the unit rate would be in millimeters per gram.
To find the unit rate, we need to determine the amount of stretch in millimeters per gram of weight.
Looking at the image, let's take two points that lie on the line representing the relationship between weight and stretch. We can choose the points (10 grams, 20 mm) and (20 grams, 40 mm).
The change in stretch is 40 mm - 20 mm = 20 mm, and the change in weight is 20 grams - 10 grams = 10 grams.
Therefore, the unit rate is 20 mm / 10 grams = 2 mm/gram.
Hence, the unit rate is 2 mm/gram.
To find the unit rate in this situation, we need to determine how much the spring stretches (in millimeters) for every gram of weight added. We can use the image provided to gather the information we need.
1. Locate the image or diagram that shows the spring and the weight attached to it.
2. Identify and note the initial length of the spring without any weight attached. This will serve as the baseline measurement.
3. Observe and measure the length of the spring when different weights are added. Record both the weight in grams and the corresponding stretch of the spring in millimeters.
4. Calculate the rate by dividing the stretch of the spring (in millimeters) by the weight (in grams) for each measurement.
5. Find the average rate by summing up all the rates obtained and dividing by the total number of measurements taken. This will give us the unit rate.
By following these steps and using the information from the provided image, we can determine the unit rate - the amount the spring stretches in millimeters per gram of weight added.
