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
I'm pretty sure it's 51 but idk if it's A or C
Answered by PsyDAG
It's miles per hour.
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?
