Question

Samir works 15 hours for every 19 hours that Mitul works. If x represents the number of hours that Mitul works and y represents the hours that Samir works, which equation correctly models this relationship?

Answer 1

Samir works 15 out of Mitul's 19...

15/19

y=15/19x

Answer 2

Answer:

$y=\frac{15}{19}x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-----> the number of hours that Mitul works

y-----> the hours that Samir works

by proportion

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{19}{15}\\ \\19y=15x\\ \\y=\frac{15}{19}x$
