Comparing Two Rates of Change Using Words & a Graph | 8.EE.B.5

The video tutorial explains how to compare two rates of change using words and a graph. It presents a scenario where George and Jenna each complete a 12-mile run. Jenna's run is analyzed using a graph, while George's run is described as a constant rate of 5 mph. The problem asks how many more miles Jenna ran than George in the first hour. Viewers are encouraged to pause the video to solve the problem before the solution is explained. Jenna ran 6 miles in the first hour, while George ran 5 miles, meaning Jenna ran one more mile.
