Question

The price of dress fabric is proportional to the length of fabric purchased. The graph shows this relationship.

What is the unit rate for the situation? a 1/8 dollar/m b $3/m c $8/m d $24/m

Answer 1

answer is 8

Explanation:

divide both pairs and they both equal 8

3 divided by 24 gets 8

1 divided by 8 gets 8

Answer 2

1 meter of fabric cost $8 and 3 meters of fabric costs $24 this means that the price is $8 per meter.

you could also look at the equation at the top of the graph that says y=8x where "x" is the number of meters. so if you have 3 meters of fabric you would plug the number 3 into that equation y=8(3) to get $24

Based on this your answer should be "C" $8 for every meter of fabric
