Imagine Noah's blueberry stash shrinking by 25% - that's what Jada gets! So, Jada's share (J) is simply 3/4 times Noah's (N): J = 0.75N. Think of it like Noah has a big pile, and Jada gets 3 out of every 4 blueberries from it.
Here's how to model and write an equation for Jada's blueberries (J) compared to Noah's (N):
1. Proportion: Jada ate 1/4 less than Noah, meaning her portion is 3/4 of his. We can represent this as a proportion:
J / N = 3 / 4
2. Equation: To turn the proportion into an equation, we can multiply both sides by N:
J = (3/4) * N
3. Final Equation: This equation, J = 0.75N, represents the relationship between Jada's blueberries (J) and Noah's (N). It shows that Jada ate 3/4 or 75% of the amount Noah ate.
N and J represent the actual number of blueberries each person ate.
The equation assumes they both ate whole blueberries, not fractions.
I hope this clarifies the model and equation for Jada's blueberries!
