Question

A group of hikers tracked how long it took to hike a 20-mile trail. They hiked 3.75 miles in 3 hours, 7.5 miles in 6 hours, and 12 miles in 8 hours. Determine if the relationship between the hikers' distance and time is proportional. Yes, it is proportional because the ratios for miles per hour are all equivalent

Answer 1

Answer: the answer is d

Step-by-step explanation:

3.75 mi in 3 hours

you need to do 3.75÷3=

and you get 1.25 mi an hour

now you need to do the next one

it is 7.5 mi in 6 hours

so, you're going to do 7.5÷6=

and we get 1.25 mi an hour

now let's do the last one

12 mi in 8 hours

you're going to do 12÷9=

and you get 1.5 mi in an hour

so, the 3 hours and 6 hours are proportional

therefore, the answer is d) No, it is not proportional because 7.5 miles in 6 hours is not equivalent to 12 miles in 8 hours.

hope this helps!!

hope you get a good grade!

there's nothing else to say that's just it so bye and have a great day!!
