Asked by delaney

At the bakery shop, each baker works at his or her own speed, making the same number of cakes each day. Marissa makes 28 cakes in 2 weeks, Carlos makes 60 cakes in 20 days, and Shelby makes 5 cakes in 2 days. When the shop owner graphs the relationship between the number of cakes made and days, who has the steepest graph? Explain.

Just find the unit rate for each person.

Marissa's rate = 28 cakes/ 2 weeks = 28/14 cakes per day = 2 cakes/day
Carlos' rate = 60 cakes/20 days = 3 cakes/day
Shelby's rare = 5 cakes/2 days = 2/5 cakes/day

How do you think this relates to the steepness of the graphs ?
