Three friends are out riding their bikes one afternoon. Summer rides 25 miles in 75 minutes, Natasha rides 22 miles in 88 minutes, and Robin rides 28 miles in 84 minutes. What is each rider’s unit rate in terms of minutes per mile? What are two conclusions that can be made about each rider’s unit rate?

[list=1] [*]Determine the unit rate for each rider. [*]State two conclusions that can be made about the unit rates of each rider.

Jonah wants to buy matching shirts for the freshman class officers. Each shirt costs $15, plus a standard shipping fee of $8 for any number of shirts ordered. Determine the slope of the line that passes through the points of the total cost of 1 shirt to 5 shirts. Explain what the slope means in the context of the problem. Finally, use the slope to determine how many shirts can be purchased for $115. Assume there is no sales tax.

[list=1] [*]Create a table to show how the two quantities described vary. [*]Graph the relationship. [*]Determine the slope and what it means in the context of the problem. [*]Use the slope to determine how many shirts can be purchased for $115. [/list] This applet is provided by Walch Education as supplemental material for their mathematics programs.
