Question

The linear equation n = 10t describes n, the number of origami boxes that Holly can fold in t hours. How many boxes

can Holly fold in 3 hours?

Answer 1

Holly can fold 30 origami boxes in 3 hours, as determined by the given linear equation n = 10t.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student has asked how many origami boxes Holly can fold in 3 hours if the linear equation n = 10t describes n, the number of boxes she can fold in t hours. To find the answer, we simply substitute the value of t with 3 in the equation, which gives us n = 10(3).

The calculation is straightforward:

• n = 10 × 3
• n = 30

Therefore, Holly can fold 30 boxes in 3 hours.
