Question

The number of roses (r) in a garden increases when the number of weeds (w) decreases. Write the correct equation for this scenario and solve for the number of roses when there are 5 weeds.. . . Weeds. Roses. 10. 20. 20. 10. Help???

Answer 1

The choices are  A. r= 200 over w; r = 40 B. r = 200 over w; C. r = 1000
C. r = 2w; r = 10 D. r = 2w; r = 2.5. The situation implies that the number of roses is inversely proportional to the number of weeds. In this case, the answer is either a or b. Given 5 weeds,the one that fits is A. A. r= 200 over w; r = 40.
