Question

8) The height of a stack of CD cases is Proportional to the number of CD’s in the stack. A stack of 6 CD’s is 66mm high.* Find the unit rate**

a) How high is a stack of 10 CD’s?


b) Write an equation that relates the height (y) of a stack of CD’s and the number of CD cases(x) in the stack.

Answer 1

Explanation:

well, when 6 CD cases are 66 mm high, then 1 CD case is 66/6 = 11 mm high.

a)

therefore, 10 CD cases are 11×10 = 110 mm high.

b)

y = 11x
