Step-by-step explanation:
To solve all of these questions you just need to scale. While scaling you can divide or multiply.
1. (divide by 4 to get unit rate)
unit rate =
2. If it takes one hour to travel 40 miles, then we don't have to scale or anything. We know , the answer is...
"It'll only take one hour to travel 40 miles. This is correct because the unit rate is . "
3. Knowing that the constant speed of the plane is , we can scale then add half of the unit rate to get our answer.
x 3 =
800 x 3 = 2400
then add half of unit rate which is
= 400
so, our answer is
4. <--- ( divided by 2)
( multiplied x 2.5) --->
To get an easier way to find the answer, if possible you can scale back farther than the 1 hour mark.
Elmer would take 2 and a half hours to ride 15 km.
5. The boys speed is . All we need to do is divide by 2.
= 4
The slope of a line can be found by graph using rise over run (). Look at the image below to see what this mean.
Rise = vertical
run = horizontal
I took two clear points on the line as seen below and drew a right angle that formed a right triangle with the line.
Now let's count how many units the rise is (look at the second image). This is 3 units
rise = 3
Count the units of the run (third image). This is 1 unit
run = 1
Let's put these two numbers together in the form:
or simplified = 3
However, this is not the final answer. This is a negative slope, meaning that when you look at the line from left to right (like when you are reading words) the line reaches from the top left corner to the bottom right corner. A positive slope (reading left to right) reaches from the bottom left corner to top right corner.
To signify that the slope is negative you simply add a negative sign to it:
-3
