Plug any number in for x and find the resulting y, then if you need to graph place the coordinate points on the plane. For example if you set x=2 the equation becomes y=0.5(2). From here we can see 0.5(2)=1 and this is equal to 1 so in a data chart you would write under x the number 1 and under y the number 2.
We can think of this as an equality
5 Lawns = 8 Hours
If she needs 40 hours, you can multiply 8 hours by 5 to get 40, but now it's not balanced. So, you need to multiply 5 to the other side too so:
5 x (5) = 8 x (5)
Therefore she mows 25 Lawns in 40 Hours
Answer:
Car B has the better fuel economy.
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the fuel consumption for the two cars:
Car A: (450 km) / (40.5 L) = 1.11 km per L
Car B: (220 km) / (18.7 L) = 1.18 km per L
Car B goes further on one L of gasoline than Car A.
