The answer is c = .6x + 5
In order to find the equation, note that the price per pound is contingent upon the weight in x. Therefore, we can multiply the two together.
We also need to add the constant, which is 5.
Ok so you know the first garden needs 1 and 2/5 bags of soil. Now first we need to find one fifth of that. So let's make this mied number into an improper fraction:
1 2/5 = 7/5
Ok now let's divide 7/5 by 5:
7/5 divided by 5/1 = 7/25
So Jared will need 7/25 bags of soil for his second garden, but we're STILL not done. now we have to add for the TOTAL.
1 2/5 + 7/25 > 7/5 + 7/25 > 7 x 5 = 35 > 35/25 + 7/25 = 42/25
_________
5x 5 = 25
Now let's simplify it to 1 and 17/25
Answer: Direct proportion because as the time goes up the distance goes up
