standard_description: Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Given the graph below, over which interval is the average rate of change the greatest? Explain your reasoning.

a. Between
$${f(4)}$$
and
$${f(10)}$$
b.
$${10 \leq x \leq 15}$$
c. Between
$${(0,0)}$$
and
$${(4,11)}$$
d. From
$${x=0}$$
to
$${x=10}$$
Problem 2
The table below defines the relationship
$${y=f(x)}$$
.
Find the average rate of change from
$${f (0)}$$
to
$${f(5)}$$
.

Problem 3
You leave from your house at 12:00 p.m. and arrive to your grandmother’s house at 2:30 p.m. Your grandmother lives 100 miles away from your house.
What was your average speed over the entire trip from your house to your grandmother’s house?
