Anna walks at a constant rate of 8 miles every 2 hours Graph a line to show the relationship between the time in hours, 1 and th
e distance in miles, d, that Anna walks 1) What is the unit rate in miles per hour?
2) What is the slope of the line graphed?
3) How does the slope of the line compare to the unit rate?
We see that the only complete time-distance pair indicates that she walked 6.4 miles in 2 hours. If she walked at a constant speed, we can conclude that girl walked 3.2 miles in 1 hour. Using this speed, we can find the remaining values in the table. The easier entry to complete is finding out how far she walked in 5 hours: 5 hours⋅3.2 miles/hour=16 miles. To find out how long it took to walk 8 hours we can either notice that 8 is half of 16, so it took half the time to walk half the distance or we can divide 8 miles by 3.2 miles per hour to find that it took 2.5 hours
