Question

nora walked 9 miles in 3 hours. fill out a table of equivalent ratios and plot the points on the coordinate axes provided.
hours miles
□ 3
2 □
3 9

Explanation:

Step1: Find the unit rate

Nora walks 9 miles in 3 hours, so the rate is $\frac{9}{3}=3$ miles per hour. This means miles = 3 × hours.

Step2: Find hours for 3 miles

Set miles = 3, then $3 = 3\times\text{hours}$, so $\text{hours}=\frac{3}{3}=1$.

Step3: Find miles for 2 hours

Using the rate, miles = $3\times2 = 6$.

Answer:

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