Jane spent $40 on flowers. Each small flower cost $2, and each large flower cost $3. Write an equation that describes the relationship between cost and number of flowers purchased, where X is the number of small flowers and Y is the number of large flowers.

Step-by-step explanation:

he small ones cost $2 and the bigger ones cost $3. So to get the answer you will need to multiply the number of flowers with the cost. In this case 2 times x and 3 times y. x represents the small flowers and y represents the big flowers.

2x + 3y = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

fabric (square meters)                   cloaks

7                                                           21

4/3                                                         4

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that harry needs 2 square meters of fabric for every 6 wizard cloaks he makes.

1. first of all we will find how many cloaks can be made from 1 square meter of fabric by dividing 6 by 2.

we can see that 3 cloaks can be made from 1 square meter of fabric. now we will multiply 3 by 7 to find number of cloaks made from 7 square meters of fabric.

therefore, harry will make 21 cloaks from 7 square meters of fabric.

2. let us find how many square meters of fabric will be needed to make 4 cloaks.

first of all we will find fabric needed for 1 cloak by dividing 2 by 6.

we can see that fabric needed for 1 cloak is   square meter. now we will multiply   by 4 to find fabric needed for 4 cloaks.
