You’re correct, it’s 16. Constant proportionality mean how much Y moves. So it’s 16!

16 scarfs because every 4 scarfs takes 5 feet of fabric
Y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - 5 = ⁵/₆[x - (-6)]
y - 5 = ⁵/₆(x + 6)
y - 5 = ⁵/₆(x) + ⁵/₆(6)
y - 5 = ⁵/₆x + 5
+ 5 + 5
y = ⁵/₆x + 10
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - 5 = -1¹/₅[x - (-6)]
y - 5 = 1¹/₅(x + 6)
y - 5 = 1¹/₅(x) + 1¹/₅(6)
y - 5 = 1¹/₅x + 7¹/₅
+ 5 + 5
y = 1¹/₅x + 12¹/₅
Answer:
20 mins.
Step-by-step explanation:
A babysitter charges a rate of $15 per hour. How long was the babysitter there if she makes $5?
x = hours she babysat
Equation:
15x = 5
Divide to isolate x:
15x = 5
/15 /15
x = 1/3 hrs.
Now, we convert into minutes, since she didn't work for a whole hour, to earn the $15
We know that there are 60 mins. in an hour
60 * 1/3
60/3
20 mins.
Therefore, the babysitter was there for 20 mins.
Hope this helps!
