Answer:
The rates are equal.
Step-by-step explanation:
To compare these rates, convert them to a unit rate. Divide both the numerator and denominator by the denominator. If you were to express 126 points every 3 games as a fraction:
[tex]\frac{126}{3}[/tex]
Now, divide both the top and the bottom by 3:
[tex]\frac{126\div3}{3\div3}=\frac{42}{1}=42[/tex]
That is a unit rate of 42 points per game.
Next, do the same thing for the other rate:
[tex]\frac{210}{5}=\frac{210\div5}{5\div5}=\frac{42}{1}=42[/tex]
This is also a unit rate of 42 points per game, so the rates are equal.
