Kelly and Greta are asked to write an equation for the scenario below. “One person was able to plant 4 trees in the same amount of time that 5 people working together were able to plant 20 trees.”

The girls agree that x represents the number of people working and y represents the number of trees planted. Kelly wrote the equation y = one-fourth x, and Greta wrote the equation y = 4 x. Which person is correct, and why?

y=4x

Step-by-step explanation:

Cuz in short, if x is one, y is four, if x is 5, y is 20

Thereford only y=4x is suitable

Greta is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable that is lower in each scenario is the variable that should have a coefficient (unless there are fractions).  Greta's equation makes sense because it's saying that in order for the # of trees to = the # of people, you need to multiply x by 4, or 4x.

the answer is 150.6

step-by-step explanation:

you multiply .02 by 30 and get .6.

and then you multiply 5.00 by 30 and get 150.

hope this !

multiply then divide
