A group of hikers begin an expedition with 360 pounds of food.

They plan to eat a total of 12 pounds of food per day.

Let x represent the number of days and y represent the amount of food they have left.
1) Fill out the table below

1 answer

To fill out the table, we can calculate the amount of food left \( y \) after \( x \) days using the formula:

\[ y = 360 - 12x \]

We'll assume a range of days \( x \) (from 0 up to a point where they run out of food) and calculate the corresponding \( y \).

Here is a sample table with values of \( x \) from 0 to 30 days:

| Days (x) | Food Left (y) | |----------|---------------| | 0 | 360 | | 1 | 348 | | 2 | 336 | | 3 | 324 | | 4 | 312 | | 5 | 300 | | 6 | 288 | | 7 | 276 | | 8 | 264 | | 9 | 252 | | 10 | 240 | | 11 | 228 | | 12 | 216 | | 13 | 204 | | 14 | 192 | | 15 | 180 | | 16 | 168 | | 17 | 156 | | 18 | 144 | | 19 | 132 | | 20 | 120 | | 21 | 108 | | 22 | 96 | | 23 | 84 | | 24 | 72 | | 25 | 60 | | 26 | 48 | | 27 | 36 | | 28 | 24 | | 29 | 12 | | 30 | 0 |

This table shows how the amount of food decreases daily until it runs out after 30 days. If you need any specific calculations or adjustments, please let me know!
