Question

The equation w=20n models the total weight of honey w in pounds that a beekeeper expects to collect from n hives. How many pounds of honey can the beekeeper expect to collect from 6 hives?

Answer 1

Explanation:

W= 20n

Let n equal 6

n = 6

W = 20 x 6

W= 120

Answer: 120 pounds

Answer 2

120 pounds

Explanation

we have the function

`\begin{gathered} w=20n \\ \text{where w is the weigth } \\ \text{and n is the number of hives} \end{gathered}`

then

Step 1

Let

`n=6`

now, replace in the equation and evaluate to find the w value

`\begin{gathered} w=20n \\ \text{when n=6} \\ w=20\cdot6 \\ w=120 \end{gathered}`

so, the total pounds is 120

120 pounds
