Question 1
The table shows the age relationship between Jamie's cat and dog.

Which equation gives this relationship? Let c represent the cat's age and d represent the dog's age.
Responses
A c = d + 4c = d + 4
B d = c + 4d = c + 4
C c = d + 3c = d + 3
D d = c + 3

Answer 1

To determine the relationship between the ages of Jamie's cat (c) and dog (d) from the provided table:

| Cat (c) | Dog (d) | |---------|---------| | 1 | 4 | | 2 | 5 | | 3 | 6 | | 4 | 7 |

From the table, we can observe that the dog's age (d) is always 3 years older than the cat's age (c).

To express this relationship using an equation, we can set it up as:

d = c + 3

Based on the options provided:

A) c = d + 4
B) d = c + 4
C) c = d + 3
D) d = c + 3

The correct equation that represents the relationship is:

D) d = c + 3.
