Answer 1

please help me

Answer 2

You need to find the speed of the vehicle, in miles per hour.
Choose any distance, and then find the corresponding travel time.
Divide that distance by the travel time. Be certain to provide units of measurement.

Answer 3

For example, you could choose distance = 200 miles. How many hours are required for this driver to drive that far? Get this info from the graph.

Answer 4

would that be 4 hours

Answer 5

Right. Good. Now divide 200 miles by 4 hours. Must include units of measurement in your answer.

Answer 6

so 50

Answer 7

@mathmale

Answer 8

You're on your way. HOWEVER: Must include units of measurement in your answer.

Answer 9

what do you mean

Answer 10

so is it 50 or not

Answer 11

You understood "200 miles," you understood "4 hours." "miles" and "hours" are units of measurement. You must include units of measurement in your final answer. '50" is OK as far as it goes, but without including units of measurement, you're not done yet.

Answer 12

so 50 unit rate

Answer 13

That's 50 ... what? per ... what?

Did you know that 60 mph = 88 feet/sec? Did you notice the units of measurement used here?

Answer 14

or 50 feet

Answer 15

So, you propose to measure the rate (speed) in feet?

I drive down the road at 32 feet. Make sense?

Answer 16

Look at the graph again. The units of measurement you need are right there in the graph. What are they?

Answer 17

oh i get it so 50 miles

Answer 18

I drive down the road at 50 miles. Make sense?

Answer 19

Answer 20

Answer 21

wait im confused now

Answer 22

No.

It's 50 miles per hour, or 50 mph.

Answer 23

oh ok so that is my answer

Answer 24

In ONE hour you are able to drive 50 miles.

The unit rate here is what? ..................

Answer 25

im still confused what you are say there

Answer 26

The unit rate, the number of miles that this person can drive in ONE hour (which is the "unit"), is 50 mph.

Answer 27

so 50 mph is the answer to my qeustion

Answer 28

Yes, that's right. great.
That's a unit rate.
You got it by dividing 200 miles by 4 hours. this comes out to 50 mph.

Answer 29

thank you for the medal. Take care. Over and out.
