Marjam has a goal of taking at least 10,000 steps today. According to her watch, she got 2,500 steps in the morning. There are 10 hours left in the day How many steps will she need to get each hour (assume she walks the same number of steps each hour) for the rest of the day to meet her goal? Solve this problem. Which graph most clearly communicates the solution?

The number of steps Marjam needs to get for the rest of the day can be calculated by subtracting the steps she has already taken from her goal number of steps: 10,000 - 2,500 = 7,500 steps.
Since there are 10 hours left in the day, Marjam will need to get 7,500 steps / 10 hours = 750 steps per hour to meet her goal.
The best graph to communicate this solution would be a bar graph, where each bar represents the number of steps taken in each hour.
