Marjam has a goal of taking at least 10,00 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 ) four the rest of the day to meet her goal? Solve this problem. Which graph most clearly communicates the solution?
To calculate the number of steps Marjam will need to get each hour for the rest of the day to meet her goal, we first find the remaining steps needed:
10,000 total steps - 2,500 steps already taken = 7,500 steps remaining
Since there are 10 hours left in the day, Marjam will need to walk:
7,500 steps / 10 hours = 750 steps per hour
Therefore, Marjam will need to walk 750 steps per hour for the remaining 10 hours in order to meet her goal of 10,000 steps.
The graph that most clearly communicates this solution is a bar graph showing the distribution of steps per hour for the remaining 10 hours. Each bar would be labeled with the corresponding hour and the height of the bar would represent 750 steps. This visual representation will clearly show that Marjam needs to walk 750 steps per hour for the rest of the day.
