Question

Terrence is folding paper cranes at a constant rate. Write an equation to describe the relationship between c, the number of cranes, and t, the total time in minutes

Answer 1

Answer:

It is c = kt.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is direct variation . As the time increases the number of cranes increases.

The equation is c = kt  where k is the constant  of variation.  In this case it will be a positive value because c is increasing with time.

If they make 20 cranes in 10 minutes then we can find the value of k by plugging in these values;

20 = k * 10

g = 20/10

k = 2.

So they make 2 cranes per minute.
