Twelve bicycles are produced each hour at the Speedy Bike Works. Show that the relationship between the number of bikes produced and the number of hours is a proportional relationship. Then enter an
equation for the relationship, using x as the variable that represents the number of hours.
After 1 hour,
bicycles are produced. After 3 hours, bikes are produced. The ratio
(in simplest form) of bikes produced per hour after 1 hour is
.The ratio (in simplest form) after
3 hours is
. Since the ratios between the two quantities are (select) the relationship
(select) proportional.
The equation that describes the relationship is y =
