Jana ran the first 3 and a half miles of a 5 mile race in 1 3rd of an hour. what was her average rate, in mph, for the first part of the race? explain how you solve the problem. 7.RP.1, 7.NS.3

always try to draw a diagram first

Step-by-step explanation:

Jana ran The first 3.5 miles in 1/3 of an hour. remember the problem tells us that we want our answer in miles per hour or mph. so we have to set up our problem so that our units match in the end. The diagram above shows 3.5 mi over 1/3 hour. so we must divide 3.5 miles by 1/3 hour

note:

therefore

you should at least use a calculater

step-by-step explanation:

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.
