Question

Kirima is building a wall for her snow fort. She first makes a firm base out of snow, and then piles uniformly sized blocks of snow in a

brick-like pattern. She has a maximum height for this wall in mind, and she wants to figure out how many blocks can be stacked vertically
in her wall while remaining below this maximum. So, she constructs the expression 0.6x+0.4 to measure the height of her wall, where all
constants represent measurements in meters. Which of the following statements are true?
Select all that apply.

Answer 1

0.4 represents the height of the base.

0.6 represents the height of each block.

Explanation:

Answer 2

0.4 represents the height of the base.

0.6 represents the height of each block.

Explanation:

In this expression the x is the number of blocks which is multiplied with the height of the block and added to the height of the base to get the total height of the wall.

Suppose we have ten blocks so

0.6x+ 0.4 = 0.6(10)+ 0.4= 6+0.4= 6.4

The height of the wall would be 6.4 if there are ten blocks.

The height of the wall depends on the number of blocks used.

The height of the base is constant irrespective of the number of blocks used.
