Answer
First Table - Yes
Second Table - Yes
Third Table - No
Fourth Table - No
Step-by-step explanation
Finding rates in the form of miles per minute is done by dividing the given miles covered by the corresponding minutes taken.
Since the rates are constant for each of the tables, we can just use one datapoint to calculate the rate for each of the tables.
First Table
Using the first datapoint
Miles covered = (3/6) = (1/2) mile
Time = (1/3) minute
Rate = (1/2) ÷ (1/3) = (1/2) × (3/1) = (3/2) = 1.5 miles per minute
So, Yes, this rate is greater than 1 mile per minute.
Second Table
Using the first datapoint
Miles covered = (12/12) = 1 mile
Time = (3/4) minute
Rate = 1 ÷ (3/4) = 1 × (4/3) = (4/3) = 1.33 miles per minute
So, Yes, this rate is greater than 1 mile per minute.
Third Table
Using the first datapoint
Miles covered = (1/5) = (1/5) mile
Time = (2/8) = (1/4) minute
Rate = (1/5) ÷ (1/4) = (1/5) × (4/1) = (4/5) = 0.80 miles per minute
So, No, this rate is not greater than 1 mile per minute.
Fourth Table
Using the first datapoint
Miles covered = (4/5) mile
Time = (8/5) minute
Rate = (4/5) ÷ (8/5) = (4/5) × (5/8) = (1/2) = 0.50 miles per minute
So, No, this rate is not greater than 1 mile per minute.
Hope this Helps!!!
