Question

Decide whether the rates are equivalent.

Answer 1

Answer:

The rates are equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare these rates, convert them to a unit rate. Divide both the numerator and denominator by the denominator. If you were to express 126 points every 3 games as a fraction:

$\frac{126}{3}$

Now, divide both the top and the bottom by 3:

$\frac{126\div3}{3\div3}=\frac{42}{1}=42$

That is a unit rate of 42 points per game.

Next, do the same thing for the other rate:

$\frac{210}{5}=\frac{210\div5}{5\div5}=\frac{42}{1}=42$

This is also a unit rate of 42 points per game, so the rates are equal.

Answer 2

Answer

Yes the rates are equal as they both = to 42
