Answer:
F) The rates are not equivalent.
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the rates 45 mile in 8 minutes and 4 minutes to travel 25 mile. Select the statement(s) that are true. Multiple select question.
We find the unit rates
a) 45 mile in 8 minutes , we find the unit rate in miles per minute
8 minutes = 45 miles
1 minute = x
8 × x = 45 miles × 1 minute
x = 45 miles/8 minutes
x = 5.625 miles/ minute
b) 4 minutes to travel 25 miles. Find the unit rate is minutes per mile
25 miles = 4 minutes
1 mile = x
25miles × x = 4 minutes × 1
x = 4 minutes/25 miles
x = 0.16 minutes/mile
Hence, the correct option is
F) The rates are not equivalent.
