Answer:
1. The graph represents a proportional relationship
2. 70,000 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The graph represents a proportional relationship since the graph line is straight and begins at the origin.
2. Plot 5.5 hours on the graph and it'll give you 70,000 miles
From the graph, it is obvious that the trend is decreasing from 100 on day 2, to 1 on day 10. So, the answer could either be A or C. The question would be how fast is it decreasing? To illustrate this, let's find the difference of consecutive data:
100 - 26 = 74
26 - 6 = 20
6 - 2=4
2-1=1
It must not be an additive rate because there is no common difference. Let's illustrate if the trend is in multiplicative rate:
100/26 = 3.85
26/6 = 4.33
6/2 = 3
2/1 = 2
More or less, they have a common divider. Hence, the decreasing rate is in multiplicative rate. The answer is A.
So basically you use the ratio they have given you. You either multiply by 2 if image is enlarged or divide by 2 if it is reduced. (Keep in mind I got the 2 from your ratio : 1inch : 2inches) Therefore the find the original width, you multiply 10 by 2, giving you 20 inches.
