Question

You find that the number of messages you receive on your message board varies directly as the numbers of messages you post. When you post 5 messages, you receive 12 messages in return. Which variation equation can be used to predict how many messages you will post in order to receive 96 messages? A y = 12/5x - 96 B y = 5/12x + 96 C y = 12/5x​

Answer 1

Answer: C) y=12/5x

Explanation:

Divide 12 messages by 5 posts to find out how many messages you would receive for just posting 1 message (2.4)

Then determine how many times it goes into 96 (2.4 x 40 = 96)
