The number of sofas a factory produces varies directly with the number of hours the machinery is operational. Suppose the factory can produce 455 sofas in 48 hours. What is an equation that relates the number of sofas produced,n,with the amount of time,t,in hours?

Question

anonymous · Answer

455/48 sofa every 1 hours..

anonymous · Answer

Direct variation is always in the form n = kt; where t (time) is the independent variable, n (number of sofas) is the dependent variable and k is just some #

455 = 48k

Solve for k

Take this value and plug it back into the equation.

@ frankl I divided 455/48  , I got 9.479 ,is it T or N

anonymous · Answer

it's neither, its the number multiplied to t

You're answer should be n = 9.479t

@iasazhary I'm confused about the variable part, is it t or n

anonymous · Answer

just completing that's T/N.. if u wanna get the sofa produced after t time.. u just can simply multiply the 9.479 with the time (t)

sorry that's N/T not T/N..
