Answer 1

ANSWER
D. Heidi and Megan will have to make the same amount of cookies.

Answer 2

The person who will have the least amount of cookies is Heidi. Hence, Option B is correct.

Using the expression given for our Calculation;

Megan :

• y = 12x

The proportionality Constant is 12 which is number of cookies made per bag .

Using the table , we can determine a similar expression for Heidi.

Using the pair of point (12 , 60)

y = kx ; k = proportionality Constant

60 = 12k

k = 60/12

k =5

Hence, we have ;

• y = 5x

The number of cookies per bag produced by Heidi is 5.
