Question

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.

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure it's 51 but idk if it's A or C

Answer 2

It's miles per hour.

Answer 3

But... Which one would it be?? They both have 51 miles every hour?

Answer 4

Which would mean miles per hour, 51/1 or 1/51?

Answer 5

51/1?

Answer 6

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.

Answer 7

204/4 = 51
51mph...
So would it be 51/1?

Answer 8

Yes, Yes, Yes.
