Question

xochitl walked 8 miles in 4 hours. fill out a table of equivalent ratios and plot the points on the coordinate axes provided.
hours miles
2
3
4 8
number of miles

Explanation:

Step1: Find the rate

The rate is miles per hour. From the given data, 8 miles in 4 hours, so the rate is $\frac{8}{4} = 2$ miles per hour.

Step2: Calculate hours for 2 miles

Using the rate, time (hours) = $\frac{\text{miles}}{\text{rate}}$. For 2 miles, time = $\frac{2}{2} = 1$ hour.

Step3: Calculate miles for 3 hours

Using the rate, miles = rate × time. For 3 hours, miles = $2\times3 = 6$ miles.

Answer:

For the first empty cell (hours when miles = 2): 1; For the second empty cell (miles when hours = 3): 6
