Answer 5

I dont whether the first part would be 1/2 or 2

Answer 6

1. How far does Eric travel per revolution? This is given by the SLOPE of the given graph. Have you tried figuring out this slope? Show your work, please.

Hint: Find the slope

\[m=\frac{ number.of.revs }{ distance.traveled }\]

Answer 7

and then find the reciprocal of that to find the distance traveled per revolution.

Answer 8

It can be any two points right?

Answer 9

Like I could do \[\frac{ 2 }{ 4 }\] to get \[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\]

Answer 10

for the purpose of finding the slope, yes.

Answer 11

Yes.

Answer 12

Then the reciprocal is \[\frac{ 2 }{ 1 }\] which is 2

Answer 13

How many feet does the boy travel forward for each revolution of his bike wheel? My result was quite different.

Answer 14

The slope of the given graph is (8 rev) / (32 ft). Slope = ?

Answer 15

1/4

Answer 16

I'm getting confused lol.

Answer 17

@mathmale

Answer 18

I got the slope is 1/4, so that means eric travels 4 feet per revolution?

Answer 19

@Directrix could you check my answer?

Answer 20

2. What is the slope of the graph? I agree that this is 1/4.

Every 4 feet the cycle goes, the wheels turn 1 revolution.

Answer 21

Is that what you got?

Answer 22

So they are both 1/4?

Answer 23

No.

1. How far does Eric travel per revolution?

Every 4 feet forward is 1 revolution. That comes from the slope.

Saying the same thing is to say that 1 revolution is 4 feet.

Answer 24

Right.

Answer 25

So the the first part is 4 and the second part is 1/4

Answer 26

Correct.
