Part A
The equation is b = 36*a or simply b = 36a
We take the size of the farm 'a' and multiply it by 36 to get the number of bushels of corn 'b'.
-----------------------------------
Part B
The 36 means there are 36 times more bushels of corn compared to the size of the farm in acres
For example, if the size is 2 acres then
b = 36*a
b = 36*2
b = 72
yielding 72 bushels of corn
-----------------------------------
Part C
Along the first row you should have: 25 and 30 in the missing blanks (over 900 and 1080 respectively)
You find this by dividing the value of b over 36
eg: b/36 = 900/36 = 25
-------
Then along the bottom row you should have the following for the blanks: 0, 360, 1800
These values are found by multiplying the 'a' value by 36
eg: if a = 10 then b = 36*a = 36*10 = 360
-----------------------------------
Part D
Plot any two points you want from the table back in part C
So plot say (0,0) and (10,360). Then draw a straight line through those two points.
-----------------------------------
Part E
The point (30,1080) means a = 30 and b = 1080
So if the farm is 30 acres, then it can produce 1080 bushels of corn
Notice how
b = 36*a
b = 36*30 <<-- replace 'a' with 30
b = 180
And how this matches up with the fourth column of the table in part C. So you can use this part to get a hint of how to fill out the table (or at least know what one column looks like)
Hope this helps and hope you can read it, if not let me know :)
The answer in the simplest form : 3/4
