10. Write an equation representing the proportional relationship of 5.5 minutes (t) per
mile (m).

11. The table indicates an increase of time from 5.5 minutes per mile at the beginning
of the run to 6.5 minutes per mile at the end. What is the percent of this increase?
Round your answer to a whole percent.

12. What is the meaning of the point (10, 55) in the context of Lucys run?

For problems 1618, use the following information.
Look at this antique dollhouse modeled after a real house.
The height of the model is 3 in.

16. If the height of the real house is 25 ft, what is the scale used for the model of the
house? Show your work.

17. What is the equation you would use to convert measurements of the real house to
measurements of the model?

18. On the real house the white frame above the door is 10 ft high. How high is the white
