Answer 2

The correct answer is:

A) 0.1 mile per minute

Explanation:

From the graph, we see that the distance increases 1 mile for every 10 minutes on the treadmill. This makes the speed

1 mi/10 min

To rewrite this as a unit rate, we want a denominator of 1; this means we divide:

1/10 = 0.1; this gives us 0.1 mi/ min
