To complete the table, we can interpolate the values based on the rate of reading.
Danielle reads 10 pages every 5 minutes. Therefore, we can calculate the number of pages she reads for each time increment:
- For 5 minutes: 10 pages (given)
- For 10 minutes: \(10 \text{ pages} \times 2 = 20 \text{ pages}\)
- For 15 minutes: \(10 \text{ pages} \times 3 = 30 \text{ pages}\)
- For 20 minutes: \(10 \text{ pages} \times 4 = 40 \text{ pages}\)
Now, we can fill in the table:
| Minutes | Pages read | |---------|------------| | 5 | 10 | | 10 | 20 | | 15 | 30 | | 20 | 40 |
Graphing the Data
To graph the data, you would typically plot the points on a coordinate plane where the x-axis represents the "Minutes" and the y-axis represents the "Pages read."
Data points to plot:
- (5, 10)
- (10, 20)
- (15, 30)
- (20, 40)
Steps to create the graph:
- Draw the x-axis and label it "Minutes."
- Draw the y-axis and label it "Pages read."
- Plot the points:
- (5, 10) - a point at 5 minutes and 10 pages
- (10, 20) - a point at 10 minutes and 20 pages
- (15, 30) - a point at 15 minutes and 30 pages
- (20, 40) - a point at 20 minutes and 40 pages
- Connect the points with a straight line since the relationship is linear.
This will give you a visual representation of how many pages Danielle has read over time.
