Question

») Elise cycled a total of 34 kilometers by making 17 trips to work. How many trips will Elise have to make to cycle a total of 44 kilometers? Solve using unit rates.

Answer 1

step 1

Find out the unit rate

Divide total trips by total kilometers

Elise cycled a total of 34 kilometers by making 17 trips to work

so

17/34=0.5 trips per kilometer

step 2

Multiply 44 km by the unit rate

44*(0.5)=22 trips

therefore

The answer is 22 trips
