Question

zahra walked 5 miles in 2 hours. fill out a table of equivalent ratios and plot the points on the coordinate axes provided.
hours miles
2 5
12
40

Explanation:

Step1: Find the rate

Zahra's rate is $\frac{5 \text{ miles}}{2 \text{ hours}} = 2.5$ miles per hour.

Step2: Calculate miles for 12 hours

Using the rate, miles = $2.5 \times 12 = 30$.

Step3: Calculate hours for 40 miles

Hours = $\frac{40}{2.5} = 16$.

Answer:

For the table:

• When hours = 12, miles = 30.
• When miles = 40, hours = 16.
