Kelly and Greta are asked to write an equation for the scenario below. "One person was able to plant 4 trees in the same amount

Alina [70]

Answer:

$y=\dfrac{1}{4}x$

Kelly is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

One person is able to plant 4 trees

Let x be the number of people

y be the number of trees

The situation is represented by

$1x=4y\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{1}{4}x$

5 people are able to plant 20 trees

$5x=5(4y)\\\Rightarrow 5x=20y\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{5x}{20}\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{1}{4}x$

So, the situation is represented by $y=\dfrac{1}{4}x$

Hence, Kelly is correct.

Afina-wow [57]

The answer should be x=60. ABD are an equilateral triangle all the angles must add up to 180. 60*3=180. Also if you have a protractor you can measure the angle C, the 60 degrees part and measure it against A, D and B. Hope this helps.
