To answer the questions based on the given data, we first analyze the relationship between the number of lawns mowed and the money earned.
-
Calculate the earnings per lawn: Let's calculate the money earned for each lawn mowed based on the data provided:
- For x = 7 lawns: y = 294 → 294 / 7 = $42 per lawn
- For x = 6 lawns: y = 252 → 252 / 6 = $42 per lawn
- For x = 2 lawns: y = 84 → 84 / 2 = $42 per lawn
- For x = 9 lawns: y = 378 → 378 / 9 = $42 per lawn
- For x = 3 lawns: y = 126 → 126 / 3 = $42 per lawn
Every calculation shows that the earnings per lawn mowed is consistently $42.
Now, we can answer the question sections:
a. Every lawn mowed is 42 dollars earned.
b. Dollars/1 lawn mowed is called a unit rate.
c. This relationship is a linear relationship (or you could say it's a proportional relationship, as the earnings increase proportionally with each lawn mowed).
So, based on the questions:
- a. 42
- b. unit rate
- c. is a linear relationship (or is a proportional relationship)
