Question

Rosalee parks at a metered space that still has some time left. She adds some dimes to the meter. The table below represents the number of minutes left based on the number of dimes inserted into the meter.

Dimes 3 6 9 12 15
Minutes 16 25 34 43 52


Complete the verbal description of the relationship between dimes and minutes.


The number of minutes left on the meter is
times the number of dimes plus
more minutes.

Answer 1

The number of minutes left on the meter is multiplied by the number of dimes, and there are 16 more minutes added. So, if Rosalee inserts 3 dimes, she would have 16 + (3 * 16) = 64 minutes left on the meter. Each additional 3 dimes would add another 16 minutes. Hope that helps clarify the relationship between dimes and minutes! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
