What are the two variables in this problem?
3 and 5 i think its d im not sure
What words are written along the left side of the grid and at the bottom?
What do the numbers 3 and 5 relate to?
012345678910 thats the bottom numbers
under those numbers, doesn't it say Time (hours)?
yes
and what does it say to the left?
number of cakes
yes, so the numbers 3 and 5 refer to cakes and time
Look at the grid and see which one shows 3 cakes being made in 5 hours
3 is the amount of cakes 5 is the number of hours
yes, which grid shows this?
i don' see any that shows it
If you had a green marker and could color in the box, under the line and you started from 0 at the left up to 5 at the right which one would show this?
Let's look at A. Start at the 5 on the bottom and go up one line. Which number is that?
3
Right. And the 3 is what, time or cakes?
5
What is 5 and what is 3?
Is that where they meet and is that what we are looking for?
idk i think so i hate math it's hard
You don't need math at this point. You are just looking at where the lines meet. You have to critically look at the diagram and understand what it says. You need to read the question to understand what it is asking and what the numbers correspond with. You saw that time was on the bottom and that it took five hours. You saw that the number of cakes made on the left was three. If you move your finger on any of the charts from the 5 hours at the bottom to where the diagonal line touches it will tell you how many cakes were made.
If it shows 3 then that is the right answer.
I'd suggest you write the ratio \[\frac{ 3.cakes }{ 5.hours }.\]This ratio represents the SLOPE of a straight line. Your job is to determine which graph is that of a straight line with slope \[\frac{ 3.cakes }{ 5.hours }\]
think: "slope is defined as "rise" over "run". Which graph shows a "rise" of 3 (cakes) when the "run" is 5 (hours)?
