Question

The age of a cat 2 years or older can be approximately converted into human years by multiplying by 4 and adding 16. Complete the table to represent the relationship between cat age and human years.

Answer 1

Explanation:

If the age of a cat is represented by 'x' and human years by 'y', relation between the age of cat and human years will be,

y = 4x + 16 [multiplying cat's age by 4 and by adding 16]

Now from the given table,

If x = 2,

y = 4×2 + 16

= 24

If y = 3,

y = 4×3 + 16

= 28

If x = 4,

y = 4×4 + 16

= 32

If x = 5,

y = 5×4 + 16

= 36

If x = 6,

y = 6×4 + 16

= 40

Cat age 2 3 4 5 6

Human years 24 28 32 36 40
