Question

Esther the Clown does face painting at the city carnival. She paints 7 faces every 21 minutes.

Write an equation that relates the number of faces she paints (f) and time she spends painting (m) in minutes.

Answer 1

Answer:
`m=3f`

Explanation:

Given: Esther the Clown does face painting at the city carnival.

She paints 7 faces every 21 minutes.

So, the time taken by Esther to paint 1 Clown face =
`=\frac{\text{total minutes}}{\text{total faces}}=(21)/(7)=3\text{ minutes}`

If 'f' represents the number of faces and 'm' represents the number of minutes, then the total time spent to make 'f' clown faces is given by :-

`m=3f`
