Select ALL the correct answers.
Every year, Calaveras County holds a frog jumping contest. Mia entered her frog into the 100-yard contest and it completed the race in 2 minutes 33 seconds. Larisa entered her frog into the 350-yard contest and it completed the race in 5 minutes 18 seconds.
Based on the situation above, select all true responses.
The proportional relationship d = rt can be used to determine the speed at which Mia’s frog and Larisa’s frog completed the race.
Based on actual rates during their respective races, Mia’s frog completed the race at a slower rate than Larisa’s frog.
Based on actual rates during their respective races, Mia’s frog completed the race at a faster rate than Larisa’s frog.
Based on actual rates during their respective races, Mia’s frog completed the race at the same rate as Larisa’s frog.
Using Larisa's distance and time, the relationship 350 ÷ 5.3 = r can be used to determine her frog's rate.
Using Mia’s distance and time, the relationship r = (100)(2.55) can be used to determine her frog's rate.
The correct responses are:
- The proportional relationship d = rt can be used to determine the speed at which Mia’s frog and Larisa’s frog completed the race.
- Based on actual rates during their respective races, Mia’s frog completed the race at a slower rate than Larisa’s frog.
- Using Larisa's distance and time, the relationship 350 ÷ 5.3 = r can be used to determine her frog's rate.
