Kimtoya and Sidney are participating in a long-distance bike tour. The rate at which Kimtoya is riding is represented by the equ
ation y = 12.5x, where x is the time in hours and y is the total distance in kilometers. The rate at which Sidney is riding is represented by this table. Select answers from the drop-down menus to correctly complete the statements. Kimtoya rides at a rate of (5 6.25 12.5 25) kilometers per hour and Sidney rides at a rate of (5 6.25 12.5 25) kilometers per hour. Kimtoya's rate of speed is ( greater less equal) Sidney's rate of speed.
On this problem, just use the information you know. So...
Kimtoya rides at a rate of 12.5 kilo. per hour and Sidney rides at a rate of 12.5 kilo. per hour. Kimtoya's rate of speed is equal to Sidney's rate of speed.
(You get Sidney's rate of speed by dividing the x and y from the table, 2 and 25 which gets you to 12.5.)
Its equal because both girls go 12.5 km in one hour. Kimtoya has the information written out, while Sidneys graph has 25km in 2 hours. Divide 25 by 2 and get 12.5km.
Long story short put down 12.5 for both girls and equal for the other box.
