Answer: y = 4x (y = shoelaces & x = minutes)

Step-by-step explanation: We know that 12 shoelaces are produced in 3 minutes and that the ratio of shoelaces produced to minutes spent is proportional. We can figure out, therefore, that if you multiply the number of minutes by 4, you will get the number of shoelaces. As an equation, this would be y = 4x (y = shoelaces & x = minutes).

Good Luck!
