Activities
Use the graph to answers questions 1 and 2.
- What is represented by the labeled point on this graph?
- What would the point (0.0) represent on this graph?
Use the following graph to answer questions 3 and 4
- What does the labeled point on the graph represent? Explain
- How much money does the person represented by the graph make per day? Explain
- Why would you have the point (0.0) on this graph? Explain.
- Use the data in the chart to complete the graph. The data shows that there is a proportional relationship between the number of scoops of ice cream that you use and how many milkshakes you make.
- Using the graph you made explain what the coordinate (3, 6) means.
- Using data from the graph, how many milkshakes could be made if you had 18 scoops of ice cream? Explain your answer.
Answer Key/Rubric
- The labeled point on the graph means that after 3 days of traveling you would travel 6 miles
- He point (0,0) on this graph means that in 0 days you would not travel any distance.
- The point on the graph represents the amount of money that was earned after working for 4 full days. It would be $340 in 4 days.
- In one day the person would earn $85. Students reasons might include, but are not limited to
- Using the data on the labeled point you can find the unit rate by dividing the amount og money earned by the number of days.
- $340 ÷ 4 = $85 earned in one day
- On this graph the point (0,0) would mean that you would earn $0 if you worked for 0 days.
- On this graph the point (3,6) mean that if you are going to make 3 milkshakes it will take 6 scoops of ice-cream.
- You could make 9 milkshakes with 18 scoops of ice-cream according to the graph. Student work might include, but is not limited to
- Find the unit rate by diving the number if scoops by the number of milkshakes that you can make.
- Use the point labeled 6 ÷ 3 = 2 scoops per milk shake
- Then take the number of scoops you have and divide by the unit rate to see how many milk shakes you can make.
- 18 ÷ 2 = 9 milk shakes
