Question

w, the number weeks
Input Output Arrow
32w
Input Output Arrow
n, the number of cans of food donated

Must be an equation
An equation shows two equal exp

Answer 1

To express the relationship between the number of weeks, \( w \), and the number of cans of food donated, \( n \), you can formulate the equation as follows:

\[ n = 32w \]

In this equation:

• \( n \) represents the number of cans of food donated.
• \( w \) represents the number of weeks.
• The coefficient 32 indicates that for each week, 32 cans of food are donated.

So, for any given number of weeks \( w \), you can calculate the total number of cans donated \( n \) by multiplying \( w \) by 32.
