Question

Jose rides his bicycle for 5 minutes to travel 8 blocks. He rides for 10 minutes to travel 16 blocks.

A 2-column table with 3 rows. Column 1 is labeled Minutes (x) with entries 5, B, 25. Column 2 is labeled Blocks (y) with entries A, 24, C.

Which values will complete the table.

A:
B:
C:

Answer 1

A: 8
B: 15
C: 40

Reason: rate = 8 blocks / 5 min = 8/5 blocks per minute. So for y = (8/5)x: when x=5, y=8; when y=24, x = 24·5/8 = 15; when x=25, y = (8/5)·25 = 40.
