Question

A group of volunteers works for 10 hours during the annual event, and the members state for hours per month on various community projects. The table below shows the total number of volunteer hours as a function of the number of months.

Number of Months Number of Hours Volunteered
18 20
? 15
Which equation represents the information in the table?
a) V = 10m + 5
b) V = 15m
c) V = 10 + 5m
d) V = 5m - 10

Answer 1

The correct equation representing the total number of volunteer hours as a function of the number of months, based on the student's information, appears to be V = 10m + 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

A student has a question in mathematics regarding the representation of the total number of volunteer hours as a function of the number of months. The given table shows the relationship between the number of months and the total number of volunteer hours worked. We need to identify which equation best represents this relationship. The table the student is describing seems to contain incomplete data, but based on the information provided, we can deduce an equation that reflects the number of volunteer hours per month.

Since the volunteers work 10 hours during the annual event and state for hours per month on various community projects, you can set that fixed 10 hours as a constant and add the variable monthly hours. Therefore, the equation V = 10m + 5 represents the total volunteer hours (V) as a function of the number of months (m).
