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. Which graph most clearly communicates the solution?(1 point) Explain what a flat line graph would look like with the answer
To determine how many steps Marijam needs to get each hour for the rest of the day, we can start by subtracting the steps she already took in the morning from her goal of 10,000 steps:
10,000 steps - 2,500 steps = 7,500 steps
Since there are 10 hours left in the day, Marijam needs to get 7,500 steps / 10 hours = 750 steps each hour.
Therefore, she needs to get 750 steps per hour for the rest of the day to meet her goal.
A flat line graph with the answer would show each hour on the x-axis and the number of steps per hour on the y-axis. The line would be straight and at a constant height of 750 steps, indicating that Marijam needs to get the same number of steps each hour for the rest of the day. This graph would clearly communicate that she needs to walk 750 steps per hour.
