Writing Equations for Proportional Relationships: Distance and Time

This video tutorial explains the concept of proportional relationships between distance and time. It covers how to calculate the unit rate by dividing total distance by total time, and how to write equations representing these relationships. The tutorial clarifies common confusions, such as whether to divide time by distance or vice versa, and provides instructions on dividing decimals. It also demonstrates graphing data to find the constant of proportionality, concluding with a summary of the lesson.
