Question

Write a function rule for the table. Picture included.

Answer 1

Anyone able to help?

Answer 2

so what did you think of so far?

Answer 3

@purpleluffa

Answer 4

I was at first thinking that it would be answer D, but then I began thinking that maybe it was answer B, but I'm seriously not sure. I'm terrible at math, it's my weakest subject.

Answer 5

well think about it! you have hour worked and payment for those hours
so we can say that our equation is a salary (pay) in terms of hours worked
so it will be P= (something)h

Answer 6

i thinks is d Pay = 6.25 * hour

Answer 7

if 2 hours are 12.50 an hour would be half that right?

Answer 8

now we go back to our table! what can we see from the table
mainly looking at Pay column

Answer 9

@ST4LK3R pls no answer okay!
read Open Study code of conduct!

Answer 10

Alright my mistake.

Answer 11

I'm starting to think that it is B. I've been concrete in thinking that it is a formula of p =, and the pay adds 12.5 each time. So, p = 12.5 multiplied by h, the number of hours..So..p=12.5h?

Answer 12

i worked 2 hours i got 12,50
then i worked 4 hours i got 25
can you see what's happening here

Answer 13

hehe no guessing here!
we are not playing a guess game hehe

Answer 14

see the pattern and tell me the answer you think is right, explaining why you chose so

Answer 15

I think that it is B, because the the pay equals the salary (12.5), multiplied by the amount of hours worked.

Answer 16

okay let's put that to test
if i worked 4 hours
according to your equation P=12.5h
h=4hour
so p=12.5x4=50
but the table is telling us for 4 hour i get $25 not $50

Answer 17

ohhhh. okay, just a moment then..

Answer 18

Now I feel like it is Answer B. I checked it, and multiplied 6.25 by 4, and it gives me 25. So, p = 6.25h seems like the correct answer.

Answer 19

that's answer C i believe! and it is the right one
for each hour i get $6.25
so if i worked 3 hour i will get $18.75
in proportions \(\large\frac{1}{5}=\frac{$6.25}{x}\)
this way you get the salary for any number of hour( like a fraction of an hour)

Answer 20

Thank you, very much. I think I understand it more now :)

Answer 21

You are welcome!
in my proportion i set to look for how much i will get for 5 hour
However you ignore the proportion once you have your function
p=6.25h
you just need to plug in any number of hours to get you output of payment
