Let's break down the information provided and fill in the missing parts of the table based on the scenario described.
You text 50 times every 2 days. This means that the rate of texting is consistent, which suggests there's a linear relationship between the number of texts and the number of days.
Table Breakdown:
-
x - # of days:
- 0: This corresponds to when no days have elapsed (0 texts).
- a (7 days): To find the number of texts, we can calculate the texts based on the rate.
- b (30 days): Similar calculation for 30 days.
-
y - # of texts:
- c (75 texts): Derived from knowing the writing rate,
- d (300 texts): Derived from knowing the writing rate.
Calculations:
-
You send texts at a rate of 50 texts every 2 days, which is:
- Rate of texts = 50/2 = 25 texts per day.
-
For 7 days:
- y = 25 * 7 = 175 texts (this goes in place of "b").
-
For 30 days:
- y = 25 * 30 = 750 texts (this goes in place of "d").
Missing Parts:
So, we can fill in:
- a = 7 (the number of days)
- b = 30 (the number of days)
- c = 175 (the number of texts for 7 days)
- d = 750 (the number of texts for 30 days)
Answer Choices Selected for the Relationships:
- The relationship is: a linear relationship (because the function is consistent at 25 texts per day).
- The equation that fits: y = 25x (for the texting scenario).
Based on your points for the graph and water used, the function remains simple without more complexity introduced by different relationships or rates.
