Question

Please answer the question on the attachment below.

Answer 1

Stew

Explanation:

Calculate words/ minute to compare their reading rates

Stew

divide any of the words by time taken

`(795)/(3)` =
`(2120)/(8)` = 265 words per minute

Connie

From the graph

the first point shows 200 words per minute

the second point shows 400 words in 2 mins = 200 words per minute

Felicia is given as 260 words per minute

Hence Stew has the fastest reading rate at 265 words per minute

Answer 2

Stew reads 265 words per minute

Explanation:

We need to find the slope for Stew. Take 2 points (795,3) and (2650,10) and we can determine the words per minute.

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (2650-795)/ (10-3)

= 1855/7

= 265

Stew reads 265 words per minute

Connie reads at 206 words per minute

Stew reads at a faster rate
