Answer:

n=m(x)

Explanation:

n is the dependent variable m is the independent variable.

how many cartons, depends on how many liters are in a carton.

how many he needs to buy= the amount in carton× how ever much is in his recipe

for example

if they're are let's say 1.5 liters per carton than m=1.5. and if he needs 15 liters than n= 15

than the equation is


15 = 1.5 * x

x is how many cartons he needs to buy

solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 1.5


15 / 1.5 = x

and x=10 in this scenario
