Answer 1

To fill in the missing parts of the table based on the provided scenario, we first need to determine the relationship between the number of days (x) and the number of texts (y).

From the description, you send 50 texts every 2 days. This means the rate of sending texts is:

\[ \text{Rate} = \frac{50 \text{ texts}}{2 \text{ days}} = 25 \text{ texts per day} \]

Now we can fill in the table:

• For \( x = 0 \) days:

  • \( y \) (number of texts): You have sent 0 texts yet (5. If you're at day 0, the number of texts is 0).

• For \( x = a = 7 \) days:

  • Calculate texts: \( y = 25 \times 7 = 175 \)

• For \( x = b \) (we need to find out how many days corresponds to 300 texts):

  • Set up the equation: \[ 300 = 25 \times x \] \[ x = \frac{300}{25} = 12 \text{ days} \]

Now we can fill in the table:

• \( x - \) # of days

  • 0 (already filled)
  • 7 (given)
  • 12 (value calculated for \( b \))

• \( y - \) # of texts

  • 0 (for 0 days)
  • 175 (for 7 days)
  • 300 (for 12 days, which we calculated)

So the final table filled in will look like this:

\[ \begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline x - \text{ # of days} & 0 \quad 7 \quad 12 \ \hline y - \text{ # of texts} & 0 \quad 175 \quad 300 \ \hline \end{array} \]

Final Responses:

• a. 12
• b. 12
• c. 0
• d. 175

Correct matching to answers:

• a -> 12
• b -> 12
• c -> 0
• d -> 175
