Mathematics for IGCSE & O level - Graphs In Practical Situations (Section 3 - No. 34)
In the context of a conversion graph, if the gradient is greater than 1, what does this indicate about the conversion rate?
The conversion rate is less than 1.
The converted unit is smaller than the original.
The conversion rate is greater than 1.
The converted unit is equal to the original.
Paaiškinimas
A gradient greater than 1 means that for every unit of the original, there are more than one unit of the converted unit, thus the conversion rate is greater.
