In the table shown, the ratio of miles biked to hours biked is constant.
The table:
miles biked:11/44/m/132/165
hours biked: 1 /4 / 7 / 12/ h


Let h = number of hours to bike 165 mi.
Let m = number of miles biked in 7 hr.


Which proportion can be used to determine the value of m?

Respuesta :

Using proportions, it is found that the proportion [tex]\frac{m}{7} = 11[/tex] is used to determine the value of m.

-----------------

  • We look at both tables, one show the distance in miles biked and the other shows the number of hours biked.
  • From the tables, we can check that the relation is proportional, that is, in each hour, 11 miles are biked, as [tex]\frac{132}{12} = \frac{44}{4} = \frac{11}{1} = 1[/tex].
  • Thus, the following proportional relationship between m and h is established:

[tex]\frac{m}{h} = 11[/tex]

  • m is found when h = 7, thus, the proportion is:

[tex]\frac{m}{7} = 11[/tex]
