Algebra Practice

Terry has a walking rate 1 meter per second.
Jade has a walking rate 2 meters per second.
Jerome has a walking rate 2.5 meters per second.

1. If Terry, Jade, and Jerome leave school together and walk toward the frozen yogurt shop at the rates given, how far apart will they be after 1 minute?

2. If the yogurt shop is 750 meters from school, how long will it takes each student to walk there?

3. When Jerome arrives at the yogurt shop, how far away will Terry be?

4. Make a table showing the distance walked by each student after different numbers of seconds. How does the walking rate affect the data in the table?

5. Graph the time and distance data for the three students on the same coordinate axes. How does the walking rate affect the graphs?

6. For each student, write an equation that gives the relationship between the time and the distance walked. Let "d" represent the distance in meters and "t" represent the time in seconds. How does the walking rate affect the equations?
