The route for one day of a charity bike ride covers 50 miles. Individuals participants ride this distance at different average speeds.

a) Make a table and graph that shows how the riding time changes as the average speed increased. Show speeds from 4-20 miles per hour in intervals of 4 miles per hr.

I got this part done:

mi/hr| 4 | 8 | 12 | 16 | 20 |
------------------------ = 50
Hr | ??

Time = distance/rate

So do I just do this to find the hours?
t=50
-- ?
r

anonymous · Answer

when you say $$t = \frac{ 50 }{ r }$$

is "r" your speed?

anonymous · Answer

Yeah.

anonymous · Answer

Yup. Then plug in and you should get the values of your "t"
