Answer 1

Hi Thanmayi,

You asked "If David walks 1/2 mile in 1/4 hour, then how fast does David walk in one hour? Create a rate table to show distance waked per 1/4 hour."

Your table will have one column to show distance and one column to show time.

DISTANCE TIME

We can start by filling in the information we know.

DISTANCE TIME

1/2 mi. 1/4 hr.

Then fill in the columns until you reach one hour. Your first entry will look like this:

DISTANCE TIME

1/2 mi. 1/4 hr.

1 mi. (1/2 + 1/2) 1/2 hr. (1/4 + 1/4)

Continue completing your table. For every row, add 1/2 to the distance column and 1/4 to the time column. You will have four rows when you reach 1 hour (4/4 of an hour).

I hope that helps! If you found this answer useful, please upvote it.
