Question

Please help me with the below.

Answer 1

Micky had the lowest unit rate of 0.3

Explanation:

For Jason, the distance travelled is given by:

`d = (1)/(2)m`

The unit rate is the slope , which is ½ or 0.5

For Susan, she travels 3 miles is 5 minutes. Her unit rate is

`(3)/(5)`

Or 0.6

We can determine, Micky's unit rate from the graph. Using (20,6) and (40,12) on the graph, we determine the unit rate using,

`m = ( y_2-y_1)/( x_2-x_1)`

`(12 - 6)/(40 - 20) = (6)/(20) = 0.3`

Therefore Micky had the lowest unit rate
