Question

Ants have 6 legs. Elena and Andre wrote equations showing the proportional relationship between the number of ants, a, to the number of ant legs l. Elena writes a=6 • l and Andre writes l=1/6 • a. Do you agree with either of the equations? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Neither are correct.

Explanation:

The number of legs = the number of ants * 6.

The relationship is L = 6 a so neither are correct.
