Answer 4

You need to start off by figuring out how many calories that it will take to feed 6 horses. What do you think when you are looking at the table?

Answer 5

@JuniorEinstein1 ?

Answer 6

6 horses 90 ,000 calories @mathygurl

Answer 7

Yes. And the question says that 1000 calories cost $.15. So, if you need 90,000 calories, how much does it cost?

Answer 8

$135.00

Answer 9

Close. It is actually 15 cents for every 1000 calories. The decimal is not very easy to see.

Answer 10

1.35

Answer 11

Do the same thing that you just did but type in 0.15 instead of 15.

Answer 12

13.5

Answer 13

Yup! :-D

Answer 14

Ok now how would I write this correct as a equation broken down?

Answer 15

What part do you need to make an equation for? Just the number of calories it takes to feed the horses?

Answer 16

This is the part I get confused by

Answer 17

That is what it looked like in the picture that you posted.

Answer 18

Yeap look at the example it says to put h for horse.It's alegebra one

Answer 19

Okay, let me try to help you write the expression then. When you figured out that 6 horses needed 90,000 calories, how did you do it?

Answer 20

I just did it regular not in equation form

Answer 21

What do you mean? Did you use the table to figure out how many calories you needed for 5 horses and then used that number to figure it out for 6 horses?

Answer 22

Because, honestly, that is just about what I did to get the 90,000.

Answer 23

yes

Answer 24

Okay. So, how did you figure out the amount for 5 horses from the table? (This is not a trick question, I just want to know what your line of thinking is so I can help you actually make the expression).

Answer 25

Answer 26

number of horses 4 and 2 60,000 and 30,000

Answer 27

Do you know how to find slope, JuniorEinstein1?

Answer 28

welll 4 horses + 1 horse = 5 horses

so 60000 + 15000 = 75000 calories

its a linear relationship

Calories = 15000 x number of horses

Answer 29

It's 6 horses no ?

Answer 30

Since the number of calories needed goes up by 15,000 for each horse, the formula would be Calories = h * 15,000, like campbell said.

Answer 31

Then, if you wanted to check to make sure your formula works, you would just plug in "6" for h.

Answer 32

You should get 90,000.

Answer 33

Ok but @campbell_st did you do it for 5 ? isn't it six ?

Answer 34

Felling dizzy :( how do you write it out ?

Answer 35

I did do it for 5.... just to show how you can use the table to find any value...

6 horses = 4 + 2

calories = 60000 + 30000


thats from just reading the values in the table....

Answer 36

Ok I get it - So you write it - 6h=4+2

Answer 37

you can do it that way.... its just one method ... since its a linear relationship
