Question

Part 1: Come up with and describe two scenarios: one that models a direct variation situation and one that models an inverse variation situation. Do not stated explicitly which scenario is which, but provide at least four data pairs for each situation. Your classmates will have to determine which of the scenarios is a direct variation and which is an inverse variation, and the value of k for each.

Answer 1

(Direct Variation) Chris is saving money to go on a trip. He saves $50 each week. Write an equation that shows how much money he has.

(Indirect variation) Chris need to have $5000 to by a new car. He is planning to save money each month. However, he hasn't decided how much money to save each month. Write an equation to model this situation.
