A company manufactures skateboards. Each skateboard requires 1 6/7 hours of labor to assemble and 2 1/2 hours of labor to finish
and stain. The cost of labor to the company is $36.00 each hour. Find the product 36\left(1\frac{6}{7}\ +\ 2\frac{1}{2}\right)36(1 7 6 + 2 2 1 ) using the distributive property. Describe what each individual term in the expression represents in the context of this situation after you distribute the 36, AND describe what the final result represents. Show your work, and explain
If the function was proportional, when the number of hours spent riding the bicycle is equal to 0, the total cost of renting the bicycle would also be 0. In other words, the function would be proportional if y=0 when x=0. However, this is not the case.
Plug 0 into the equation as x
When 1 bicycle has been rented for 0 hours, the customer still has to pay 10 dollars just for renting it. When x=0, y=10. This means that the function is non-proportional.
