Brady can draw 2 rectangular boxes, both the same size and shape, break the top one up into 4 parts and color in 3 of the 4 boxes, this represents the fraction 3/4. Break the second box up into 8 parts and color in 7 of them. You will see that 7/8 is more than 3/4.

A child is hopping along a sidewalk. The ratio table below shows the comparison between the number of hops and the distance trav

natima [27]

First we rewrite the table:
20 30
50 75
80 120
150 ?
We observe that for each 30 number of hops, the distance increases by 45 feet.
We must find the slope of the line:
m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
m = (75-30) / (50-20)
m = 1.5
Then, the line is:
y = 1.5x
We substitute x = 150
y = 1.5 * (150)
y = 225
Answer:
Find the ratio of hops to distance traveled (1: 1.5), then multiply 150 by 1.5.

340÷32=10.625
350÷28=12.5

12.5-10.625= 1.875
