Question

Answer 1

Attached is the missing graph

And here is the missing options for this question:

A) 0.1 mile per minute  

B) 0.5 miles per minute  

C) 5 miles per minute  

D) 10 miles per minute

Answer:

Option A: 0.1 mile per minute  

If we look at the graph the distance increases is 1 mile for every 10 minutes so we can conclude that after every 10 minutes 1 mile distance is covered. (1mi/10min)

We will use 1 as the denominator for that we will divide:

1/10 = 0.1

so this will give us 0.1 mi/min
