Question

The number of frogs on the pond is Proportional to the number of salamanders placed in the pond. Suppose there are 10 Frog’s for each salamander. Which equation represents the total number of frogs in the pond?

Answer 1

Answer:

Y=10x

(multiply 10 times the salamanders)

Step-by-step explanation:

a formula that can be used for this circumstance is a linear y=mx+b problem. for 1 salamander there are 10 frogs. so with this we can state that y=10x. whatever you plug into the x for the number of salamanders will give you the answer of how many frogs are in the pond. for example.

Y=10x

Y=10(3)

Y=30

30 frogs.

also because 10 is a nice number you can just multiply the number of salamanders times 10. 3*10=30
