Question

use complete sentences to describe a relationship between two sets that you can describe mathematically. for example, if you make a habit of eating 10 carrot sticks a day you could mathematically describe the relationship between the number of days in the month and the number of carrot sticks you eat in that month.

Answer 1

For this case we will use the example of carrots.

The first thing we must do is define variables.

We have then:

x: number of days in the month

y: total amount of carrots consumed

We now write the relationship between the variables.

We know that you eat 10 carrots per day.

We have then:

y = 10x

Writing the relationship in complete sentences we have:

The relationship between the number of days and the number of carrots is directly proportional. The constant of proportionality is equal to ten.

Answer:

The relationship between the number of days and the number of carrots is directly proportional. The constant of proportionality is equal to ten.

y = 10x

Answer 2

Every commensal at a dinner eats thre plates. Then the number of plates served at the dinner is three times the number of commensals.
