Question

Caroline bakes brownies to give to her friends. She starts with 48 brownies and gives a brownie to 6 friends each hour until she has none left.

Use the Segment tool to plot a graph representing the number of brownies Caroline has left to give away from the time she begins giving them away until she has no brownies left.

Answer 1

How many brownies did she start out with ?

Answer 2

48=y-axis

8=x axis

It is this because she starts off with 48 brownies and she gave one to every 6 friend each hour, so if you multiply how many times she gave the brownies and how many she gave six hours, you will have 48! Or, if you divide how many brownies she started off with and how many she gave one to every 6 friend each hour, you will have 8!
