Marjam has a goal of taking at least 10,000 steps today. According to her watch, she got 2,500 steps in the morning. There are 10 hours left in the day. How many steps will she need to get each hour assume she walks the same number of steps each hour) for the rest of the day to meet her goal? Solve this problem. Which graph most clearly communicates the solution?(1 point)
Graph 1
Graph 2
Graph 3
Graph 4
To find out how many steps Marjam needs to take each hour to meet her goal, we need to subtract the steps she has already taken from her goal and divide it by the number of hours left in the day.
Goal - Steps taken = Steps left
10,000 - 2,500 = 7,500
Now, we divide the steps left by the number of hours left:
7,500 / 10 = 750
Marjam will need to take 750 steps each hour for the rest of the day to meet her goal.
To visualize this solution, we can use a line graph with the x-axis representing the hours left in the day and the y-axis representing the number of steps. The line will start at 2,500 steps at hour 0 and increase by 750 steps each hour until hour 10.
Therefore, Graph 2 most clearly communicates the solution.
