Question

As a young girl, Tiana enjoyed watching her father make things in his woodworking shop. Now that she's grown up, Tiana builds wooden furniture for a living. Her most popular product is a cedar porch swing. There is a proportional relationship between the time (in days) Tiana spends making porch swings, x, and the number of swings she builds, y.

The equation that models this relationship is y=0.6x.
At this rate, how many swings can Tiana build in 20 days?

Answer 1

Answer: Tiana can build 12 swings in 20 days

Explanation:

We know the equation:

y=0.6x

We can replace the variables.

y=0.6 x 20 (here, im using the x as a multiplication sign)

Now we calculate...

y=12

Answer: Tiana can build 12 swings in 20 days
