Question

Can the relationship in Monday’s table be described by a constant unit rate. ExplainCan the relationship in Tuesday’s table be described by a constant unit rate? ExplainI’m confused for this

Answer 1

For Monday

To check if the unit rate is constant, we will compare the time to the distance covered

For 20-40 mins:10-5=5km

For 60-40 mins:12-10=2km

For 80-60 mins:14-12=2km

For 100-80 mins: 16-14=2km

We can observe that the time increases at intervals of 20 min while the corresponding time distance varies between 5km and 2km, we can conclude that Monday's table cannot be described by a constant unit rate.

For Tuesday

To check if the unit rate is constant, we will compare the time to the distance covered

For 20-40 mins:8-4=4km

For 60-40 mins:12-8=4km

For 80-60 mins:16-12=4km

For 100-80 mins: 20-16=4km

We can observe that the time increases at intervals of 20 min while the corresponding time distance remains constant at 4km, we can conclude that Tuesday's table is described by a constant unit rate.
