The most important thing to remember when writing a proportion is to keep the units the same in both ratios. You know the fractions are equivalent because each shows the ratio of girls to boys in the class. The first fraction shows the known ratio of girls to boys.

A hardware store rents vacuum cleaners that customers may use for part or all of a day, up to 12 hours, before returning. The st

The flat fee that the store charges is $14 and the cost for 7 hours is $56

A linear equation is on the form:

y = mx + b

where y, x are variables, m is the rate of change and b is the initial value of y.

let f for the total rental cost of a vacuum cleaner for x hours

Using the points (1, 20) and (3, 32) from the table:

$f-f_1=\frac{f_2-f_1}{x_2-x_1} (x-x_1)\\\\f-20=\frac{32-20}{3-1} (x-1)\\\\f(x)=6x+14$

The flat fee that the store charges is $14

The reasonable domain is 1 ≤ x ≤ 12

The cost for 7 hours is:

f(7) = 6(7) + 14 = 46
