Question

A bakery makes small batches of bread daily. Each day, the bakery records the amount of flour used and the number of loaves of bread made. All loaves are approximately the same size. The table and graph show the bakery’s data for five days.Write an equation that can be used to model the number of loaves of bread, y, that can be made from x pounds of flour.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The slope of the line would be the constant of proportionality for the line

shown. The point (35, 49) is really close the line which would make the

constant of proportionality 49/35 = 7/5. The equation of the line would be y =

7/5x. The number of loaves of bread from 85 pounds of flour would be

7/5(85) = 119 loaves.
