Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem you're working on involves determining how many laps the students will walk given a specific running distance, then plotting the results on a coordinate plane. The information given is:
- For every 3 laps they run, how many laps will they walk?
- The table has a few data points to complete, and then you must plot the pairs of values on a graph.
Let's first fill in the table. The table is for "Run (laps)" and "Walk (laps)":
Given that for every 3 laps run, 2 laps are walked, we can use this ratio (3:2) to find out how many laps they will walk for other running values.
From the table:
- If they run 6 laps, they will walk 4 laps.
- If they run 9 laps, they will walk 6 laps.
- If they run 12 laps, they will walk 8 laps.
Now, the next step is to plot these pairs of values on a coordinate plane:
- (3, 2) → 3 laps run, 2 laps walked
- (6, 4) → 6 laps run, 4 laps walked
- (9, 6) → 9 laps run, 6 laps walked
- (12, 8) → 12 laps run, 8 laps walked
These points will be plotted as coordinates on the graph.
Would you like a further explanation of how to plot these points on the coordinate plane, or do you have any other specific questions about this problem?
Here are some follow-up questions you might find helpful:
- How can we calculate the walking laps for different running laps using ratios?
- What does the slope of the line in this graph represent?
- How can we identify patterns in the table and graph for future predictions?
- How do we interpret the graph once we plot all points?
- Can we predict the walking laps for a value that isn't directly provided in the table?
Tip: When plotting data on a coordinate plane, always label your axes clearly and make sure each point corresponds to the correct (x, y) value!
