The graph shows a proportional relationship between time and the number of boxes a machine packages. How many boxes does the machine package in 5 minutes? your graph: (write down) Y axis number of boxes, 0- - 120- - 240- - 360- - 480-. X Axis Time (minutes), 0- - 2- - 4- - 6- - 8-.

Respuesta :

Accroding to the graph.:
0 min     0 boxes
2 min     120boxes
4 min     240 boxes
6 min     360 boxes
8 min     480 boxes.

So 2 minutes "gives us" 120 boxes
120/2= 60 boxes per minute.
In 5 minutes the machine package does 5*60=300 boxes.

  From the proportional relationship, machine will package 300 boxes in 5 minutes.

 Given points on the graph are,

  • (0, 0), (2, 120), (4, 240), (6, 360), (8, 480)

 Here, x-values represent time in minutes and y-values represent the number of boxes packed.

Since, x and y show the proportional relationship,

Expression showing the relationship will be → y ∝ x

Or y = kx

Here, k is a proportionality constant.

k = [tex]\frac{y}{x}[/tex]

From the points given, we choose one point (2, 120).

k = [tex]\frac{120}{2}[/tex]

k = 60

Therefore, equation will be,

60 = [tex]\frac{y}{x}[/tex]

y = 60x

For x = 5 minutes,

y = 60×5

y = 300 boxes

     Therefore, 300 boxes the machine will package in 5 minutes.
