Activity: Reading
Estimated Accomplishment in 1 minute: Read 2 pages
Actual Accomplishment in 1 minute: Read 3 pages
To calculate the unit rate:
Unit Rate = Accomplishment / Time
Unit Rate = 3 pages / 1 minute
Unit Rate = 3 pages per minute
Describing the unit rate with words: The unit rate for reading is 3 pages per minute.
Table:
| Time (minutes) | Accomplishment (pages) |
|---------------|-----------------------|
| 1 | 3 |
| 2 | 6 |
| 3 | 9 |
Graph:
The graph would show a linear relationship where the x-axis represents time (minutes) and the y-axis represents the accomplishment (pages).
Equation:
Accomplishment (pages) = Unit Rate * Time (minutes)
Accomplishment (pages) = 3 * time (minutes)
Choose an activity you enjoy, such as walking, shooting basketball, or reading, etc. Time yourself for 1 minute to learn how much you can accomplish in that amount of time. You can also estimate what you think you could accomplish in 1 minute. For example, you might walk 120 mile, shoot 5 baskets, or read 2 pages. Now calculate your unit rate. Describe your unit rate with words, a table, a graph, and an equation.
