Question

Part BIf you walked at the same pace as in Part A for 2 minutes, 3 minutes, and 4 minutes, what would the respective numbers ofsteps be? Use the ratio you found in Part A to calculate the numbers of steps and complete the table.

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} a)\text{ 2 minutes - 60 steps} \\ b)\text{ 3 minutes - 90 steps} \\ c)\text{ 4 minutes - 120 steps} \end{gathered}`

Here, based on a pre-calculated ratio, we want to fill in the table

The ratio we want to use is the number of minutes to the number of steps

From part A, we have this as;

`1\colon30`

Now, we will use the ratio above to fill the table

a) For 2 minutes

If there are 30 steps taken in a minute, the number of steps taken in two minutes will be;

`2*\text{ 30 = 60 steps}`

b) For 3 minutes;

If there are 30 steps taken in a minute, the number of steps taken in 3 minutes will be;

`3*30\text{ steps = 90 steps}`

c) For 4 minutes

If there are 30 steps taken in a minute, the number of steps taken in 4 minutes will be;

`4\text{ }*\text{ 30 = 120 steps}`
