Answer 1

help please

Answer 2

You could find the unit rate of each biker....first determine a point for the first biker and one for the second biker....

Answer 6

So we can use (4,40) for the first biker and (5,45) for the second biker and we know of the point for the third biker which is (3,24)....so in order to find out how many miles they can do in an hour we must divide \(\Large{\frac{y}{x}}\)....

\(\Huge{Biker~1=\frac{40}{4}=\frac{miles}{one~hour}}\)

\(\Huge{Biker~2=\frac{45}{5}=\frac{miles}{one~hour}}\)

\(\Huge{Biker~3=\frac{24}{3}=\frac{miles}{one~hour}}\)
