Question

The table shows the number of miles driven over time. Express the relationship between distance and time in simplified form as a unit rate.

Time (hours)
4
6
8
10

Distance (miles)
188
282
376
470

Answer 1

Relationship between distance and time in simplified form as a unit rate is;
`(47)/(1)`

Explanation:

Unit rate defined as the rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 5 feet per second or 3 miles per hour, they are called unit rates.

Unit rate =
`(distance)/(time)`

From the given table:

Take any

time = 4 hours and distance= 188 miles

then, by definition of unit rate;

Unit rate =
`(188)/(4) =(47)/(1)`

Since, this is the constant rate.

Therefore, the relationship between distance and time in simplified form as a unit rate is;
`(47)/(1)`
