Answer 1

Unit rates for cyclist A , B, C , D are 12 mile/ hour , 5 mile/hour, 9 mile/hour and 10 mile/hour respectively. Cyclist A is the fastest among the four.

Explanation:

Cyclist A can ride 24 miles in 2 hours

so, cyclist A's unit rate is,
`\frac {24}{2}`

= 12 mile/hour

Cyclist B's unit rate is,
`\frac {5}{1}`

=
`\frac {10}{2}`

=
`\frac {15}{3}`

= 5 mile/hour

Equation for cyclist C is, y = 9x ,

so, cyclist C's unit rate is , 9 mile/hour

Slope of the graph for cyclist D,

=
`\frac {10 -0}{1 - 0}`

= 10

So cyclist D's unit rate is, 10 mile/hour

So, cyclist A is the fastest.
