@undeadknight26 @Vincent-Lyon.Fr Find each unit rate. Compare the rates. Fiona read 45 pages in 3 hours, and Albert read 30 pages in 6 hours. http://static.k12.com/calms_media/media/1418000_1418500/1418061/1/c5a2bb4caf1cf03fc4c4107c28607da7b1d104e9/FGA_1309 A. Fiona: 5 pages/hour Albert: 15 pages/hour Fiona's rate was greater. B. Fiona: 5 pages/hour Albert: 15 pages/hour Albert's rate was greater. C. Fiona: 15 pages/hour Albert: 5 pages/hour Fiona's rate was greater. D. Fiona: 15 pages/hour Albert: 5 pages/hour Albert's rate was greater.

HELP @iPwnBunnies can u help plz

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

A rate is the amount of something per unit time. It's a division thing. So, for Fiona, she read 45 pages in 3 hours. \[rate = \frac{45 pages}{3 hours} = 15 \frac{pags}{hour}\]

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Do the same for Albert. And you can compare.

C

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Correct. c:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks Bunnies

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u help with a little more plz more medals 4 u :)

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

I'll try.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

great ok

Which statement is true concerning the graph of two lines showing the given rates? Rate 1: 16 gal in 4 min Rate 2: 18 gal in 6 min A. The graph with Rate 1 passes through (2, 6). B. The graph with Rate 2 passes through (2, 6). C. The graph with Rate 1 passes through (6, 2). D. The graph with Rate 2 passes through (6, 2).

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

First, find the simplest form of both rates. The same as we did in the last problem. This is equivalent to the slope of the line that can be made.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

.-. Why would it be C. Where's your work?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let me guess it is not C now is it :(

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

.-. Stop guessing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kk sorry :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u give me a hint plz? :)

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

I told you to simplify the both Rate 1 and Rate 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rate 1: 64 rate 2: 108

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiplied

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

No. o.o What. In the last problem, I told you rate was a division thing. Amount per unit time.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops sorry i forgot

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Rate 1 =4 rate 2 =3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divided this time :)

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

MHm. c: You can look at it this way. For rate 1, for every minute, the amount of gallons go up by 4. It's basically a line with slope 4.

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Apply the same concept to the second rate, and you'll see your answer. The point is written as (x,y) of course. Remember, x is the independent variables, which is time in this case.
