Hey, Melany. To answer this problem, simply set up a proportion:
. Now let's solve for x.
- Cross multiply:
- Isolate x:

This means that x = 24.
There are 24 9th graders in the band.
Answer:
It should be linear if you let the variable t represent the time tutoring for ONE student, so y = 40*t where t = number of hours for ONE student
so if the tutor taught 2 students for 2 hours together, then t = 2*2 = 4 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 40t
t = tutoring hours for ONE unique student...
I think that the answer is A.
I think it would be 4.
8 breaks down to 4(2) and 12 breaks down to 4(3). Let me know if that helps!
