Question

3 customers entered a store over the course of 12 minutes. Fill out a table of

equivalent ratios and plot the points on the coordinate axes provided.

Answer 1

Answer: the last box for minutes is 16

And the first box for customers is 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

See below.

Explanation:

1st Box(First row)

We can set up a proportion to solve for the number of customers that would enter the store in 4 minutes:

3 customers is to 12 minutes as x customers is to 4 minutes

This can be written as:

3/12 = x/4

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and simplify:

3/12 = x/4

3(4) = 12x

12 = 12x

x = 1

Therefore, we can expect 1 customer to enter the store in 4 minutes.

2nd Box(3rd Row)

We can use the given ratios to find the time for 10 customers.

From the table, we can see that:

3 customers take 12 minutes.

1 customer takes 4 minutes (divide both sides of the ratio by 3).

So, 10 customers will take:

10 customers × 4 minutes per customer = 40 minutes.

Therefore, for 10 customers, the time is 40 minutes.
