Question

Harry’s soccer team plays 2 nonconference games for every 3 games that they play against conference opponents. If y represents the number of nonconference games and x represents the number of conference games, which equation best models this proportional relationship?

A)y=2/3 x
B)y=3/2 x
C)y = 2x
D)y = 6x

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: A)
`y=(2)/(3)x`

Explanation:

Given: Harry’s soccer team plays 2 nonconference games for every 3 games that they play against conference opponents.

If y represents the number of non conference games and x represents the number of conference games, then we have

`3y=2x`

Divide 3 on both the sides, we get

`y=(2)/(3)x`

Hence, the equation which best models this proportional relationship is

`y=(2)/(3)x`
