The producer of the news station posted an article about the high school's football championship ceremoney on a new website. The website had 500 views after four hours. Create a table to show how many views the website would have after the first,second, and third hours after posting, if the website receive views at the same rate. How many views would the website recieve after 5 hour? (simplify your ratio)

Answer 1

The correct answers are:

Hours Views

1 125

2 250

3 375

4 500

After 5 hours, the website would have 625 views.

Explanation:

There were 500 views in 4 hours. If the site received the same number of views every hour, we would calculate this by dividing:

500/4 = 125

There were 125 views per hour. This means after 1 hour, there were 125 views; after 2 hours, 125+125=250 views; after 3 hours, 250+125=375 views; after 4 hours, 375+125=500 views; and after 5 hours, 500+125=625 views.

Answer 2

Let x be the number of hours and Let y be the number of views.

1             125 
2              250
3               375
