Answer:
Exponential function
Step-by-step explanation:
It is better if the situation on ground is represented by an exponential equation.
This is because, since we have the number of teams reducing by exactly half at every playoff round, this means that we have a base of 2 which can be raised to a negative power since we are talking about a decrease.
We can then place the number of rounds as an adjoining power to what the two is raised and this easily will get us the number of teams which is eventually decreased at every point of the playoffs
I would write a proportion, I can't use a fraction bar so they will just be on top of each other:
Blueberry Muffins 6
Apple Muffins 5
For every 6 Blueberry muffins there are 5 apple muffins (dozens)
So when he makes 16 blueberry muffins (dozens)
You write it next to the '6' because it's talking about blueberry muffin dozens.
The proportion now:
Blueberry Muffins 6 16
Apple Muffins 5 x
To find x, or the number of apple muffin dozens, you multiply 16 * 5, which is
80.
Then divide by 6.
80/6= 13.333
You can't have .333 of a dozen, so round it to 13.
***ANSWER***
He prepared 13 Apple muffin dozens.
Hope this helped <3
