Question

unit rate
one way to determine who will win is to consider unit rates. that
is, how many clicks per one second?
the table shows information for four desmos click bots™, as
well as the unit rate for the red bot.
complete the table. then explain your strategy below.

click bot	clicks	time (seconds)	unit rate (clicks per one second)
blue	30	3
green	36	5
orange	26	3

Explanation:

Step1: Find Blue's unit rate

Unit rate = Clicks / Time. For Blue, clicks = 30, time = 3. So unit rate = $30\div3 = 10$.

Step2: Find Green's unit rate

For Green, clicks = 36, time = 5. Unit rate = $36\div5 = 7.2$.

Step3: Find Orange's unit rate

For Orange, clicks = 26, time = 3. Unit rate = $26\div3\approx8.67$ (or as a fraction $\frac{26}{3}$).

Strategy Explanation:

To find the unit rate (clicks per second) for each bot, we use the formula: Unit Rate = $\frac{\text{Clicks}}{\text{Time (seconds)}}$. This means we divide the number of clicks by the time in seconds for each bot. For example, Red has 16 clicks in 2 seconds, so $16\div2 = 8$ clicks per second. We apply the same division operation to Blue, Green, and Orange to find their respective unit rates.

Completed Table (Unit Rate Column):

• Blue: 10
• Green: 7.2 (or $\frac{36}{5}$)
• Orange: $\frac{26}{3}\approx8.67$ (or 8.67 if decimal is preferred)

Answer:

(Unit Rates):
Blue: 10, Green: 7.2, Orange: $\frac{26}{3}\approx8.67$ (or as calculated above)
