How many meals would be packed in 20 hours?

Answer 1

• y = 125x
• 2500 meal packs in 20 hours

Explanation:

As per attached graph, there is proportional relationship with the formula:

• y = 125x

We can easily find it using points (0, 0) and (2, 250)

• m = 250/2 = 125

The situation would be:

Team of volunteers help to pack meals for charity. They can pack 125 meals in an hour. How many meals would be packed in 20 hours?
