Question

Ms. Avella’s class volunteers at an animal shelter one day per week.each student is responsible for caring for four animals during every hour spent at the shelter

Please help

Answer 1

Option (3)

Explanation:

Since, every student is responsible for the caring of 4 animals during every hour,

Number of animals cared for ∝ Number of hours spent at shelter

a ∝ h

a = kh

Here 'k' = proportionality constant

For h = 1 and a = 4,

k =
`(h)/(a)=(4)/(1)`

k = 4

a = 4h

By this equation,

For h = 2,

a = 8

For h = 3,

a = 12

For h = 4,

a = 16,

For h = 5,

a = 20

Since, for every input value there is a different output value,

Diagram shows a function.

Therefore, Option (3) will be the correct option.
