5. Colton is taking a long bike ride where he rides at a constant speed. The distance he bikes is proportional to the amount of time he has been biking. After 3.5 hours, he has traveled a
distance of 49 miles.
(a) Find the ratio of the distance Colton has traveled to the amount of time he has been
traveling. Express this as a unit rate and use appropriate units. What does this rate
represent?
