Question

Ants have 6 legs. Elena and Andre write equations showing the proportional relationship between the number of ants, a, to the number of ant legs l. Elena writes a=6⋅l and Andre writes l=16⋅a. Do you agree with either of the equations? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Answer:

Both are wrong.

$a \times 6 = l$

Step-by-step explanation:

This is correct because each ant has 6 legs, so ant × 6 will be number of legs.
