Question

Please, I need help!

The table above shows the number of trees and the number of apples that Jacob picked from each tree. Answer the following questions based on he table above

1. How many apples will Jacob pick from one tree. (calculate the unit rate).

2.Is there a proportional relationship between the number of trees and the number of apples Jacob picked? Explain using mathematical reasoning.

3. Using the unit rate, write an equation that Jacob can use to calculate how many apples he is able to pick from any tree.

4. Using your equation if Jacob had 25 trees, how many apples will he have.

Answer 1

1. in 1 tree, he will get 13 apples

2. yes there is a proportional relationship in the data because there are 13 apples per tree

3. y=13x (y represents the total of apples he can get in the number of trees he picked. x represents the number of trees)

4. if there were 25 trees, he would have picked 325 apples because

13*20 is 260

13*5 is 65

260+65 is 325
