Question

The table below represents a relationship between the time a turtle walks and the

Answer 1

Answer:

The unit rate is $24\ ft/min$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $y/x=k$ or $y=kx$

Let

x ------>the time in minutes

y -----> the distance in feet

This problem represent a proportional variation

so

The unit rate is the constant of proportionality (slope) of the direct variation

Observing the table

For x=5, y=120

$k=y/x$

substitute

$k=120/5$

$k=24\ ft/min$

therefore

The unit rate is $24\ ft/min$
