Answer 1

Answer:

p=4h

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

$p=4h$    

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the number of trees Wangari plants, and h  be the time she spends planting them in hours.

We have been given that Wangari plants trees at a constant rate of 12 trees every 3 hours.    

Let us find number of trees planted in 1 hour by dividing 12 by 3.

$\text{Number of trees planted in 1 hour}=\frac{12\text{ plants}}{3\text{ hour}}$

$\text{Number of trees planted in 1 hour}=4\frac{\text{ plants}}{\text{ hour}}$

We can represent this information as: $p=4h$

Therefore, the equation $p=4h$ relates the number of trees (p) Wangari plants, and the time (h) she spends planting them in hours.
