Question

Use the graph to find the unit rate

Answer 1

Answer:

2.4 potatoes/pound

Explanation:

The unit rate is the slope of the line. The slope of the line is ...

... (change in y-value)/(change in x-value)

... = (36 potatoes - 12 potatoes)/(15 pounds - 5 pounds)

... = (24 potatoes)/(10 pounds)

... = 2.4 potatoes/pound

_____

The relationship here is proportional, so the line goes through the point (0, 0) and the unit rate can be figured from any point:

... (12 potates)/(5 pounds) = (24 potatoes)/(10 pounds) = (36 potatoes)/(15 pounds) = 2.4 potatoes/pound
