Marjam has a goal of taking at least 10,000 steps today. According to her pedometer, 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. 25.60 is shown on the graph
To find out how many steps Marjam will need to get each hour for the rest of the day to meet her goal, we need to first calculate how many steps she has left to take.
Her goal is to take at least 10,000 steps, and she has already taken 2,500 steps in the morning, leaving her with 10,000 - 2,500 = 7,500 steps left to take.
Since there are 10 hours left in the day, Marjam will need to take 7,500 steps / 10 hours = <<7500/10=750>>750 steps each hour for the rest of the day to meet her goal.
