Asked by Dylan

The table shows the number of miles driven over time. Find the rate of change.

x- y-
4 | 204
6 | 306
8 | 408
10 | 510

A.) 51/1; Your car travels 51 miles every 1 hour. *
B.) 204; Car travels 204 miles
C.) 1/51; Car travels 51 miles every 1 hour. *

The wording on A and C is confusing me.

Answered by Dylan
But... Which one would it be?? They both have 51 miles every hour?
Answered by PsyDAG
Which would mean miles per hour, 51/1 or 1/51?
Answered by Dylan
51/1?
Answered by Steve
This would be clearer if you had labeled the table

hr- mi-
4 | 204
6 | 306
8 | 408
10 | 510

Then it would be clear that to get mi/hr you divide the number in the "mi" column by that in the "hr" column.
Answered by Dylan
204/4 = 51
51mph...
So would it be 51/1?
