There are 36 inches in a yard. Using n to represent the amount of inches and y to represent the number of yards, write an equation to describe the proportional relationship.(1 point)
n =
y
n = 36y
you sure
Apologies for the incorrect response. The correct equation is:
n = 36 * y
This equation describes the proportional relationship between the number of inches (n) and the number of yards (y), where 36 inches is equivalent to 1 yard.
To describe the proportional relationship between inches and yards, we can use the information provided that there are 36 inches in a yard.
Let's start by defining our variables:
n represents the amount of inches.
y represents the number of yards.
Now, we need to find the equation that relates n (inches) and y (yards) proportionally.
Since there are 36 inches in a yard, we can write the equation as:
n = 36y
This equation shows that the number of inches (n) is equal to 36 times the number of yards (y).
