Question

suppose that six people can stuff Flyers until 500 envelopes in five minutes assume all people work at the same steady rate. A.) The relationship between the number of people stuffing envelopes in the number of minutes it takes to stuff Flyers into 500 and the lives is what type of relationship? How can you tell? Make a table and a graph to show the relationship and explain how to find several of the entries. including entry for five people. B.) The relationship between the Number of people stuffing envelopes and the number of envelopes they can stuff in five minutes is what type of relationship how can you tail? Make a table and a graph to show the relationship and explain how to find several of the entries. Including entry for five people.

Answer 1

A) Given that all people work at the same steady rate and 6 people stuff flyers in 5 minutes, then 12 (=2*6) people will need 2.5 (=5/2) minutes, 30 (=5*6) people will need 1 (=5/5) minutes, etc. Then, the relationship is inverse.

The formula that relates the variables is:

people = k/time

Replacing with people = 6 and time = 5, we get.

6 = k/5

6*5 = k

k = 30

For 5 people:

5 = 30/time

time = 30/5

time = 6 minutes

people | time

5 | 6

6 | 5

12 | 2.5

30 | 1
