Question

Kaitlyn saves $6 each week. After correctly carrying out the Solve step of the five-step problem-solving plan, which solution should you arrive at to find the number weeks she must continue to save until she has a total of $60?

Answer 1

I dont know anything about the 5 step problem solving plan...

but ur equation is : y = 6x...where y is total saved and x is number of weeks.

when she has a total of 60 bucks....so y = 60
60 = 6x
60/6 = x
10 = x....so it would take her 10 weeks <==

Answer 2

10 weeks.

Explanation:

Let w represent number of weeks.

We have been given that Kaitlyn saves $6 each week. So the amount saved in w weeks would be
`6w` dollars.

Since Kaitlyn wants to save $6. This means that amount saved in w weeks should be equal to $60.

`6w=60`

Let us solve for w by dividing both sides by 6.

`(6w)/(6)=(60)/(6)`

`w=10`

Therefore, Kaitlyn must continue to save for 10 weeks to have a total of $60.
