Answer:
2 kittens per crate
Step-by-step explanation:
The kittens in a room at an animal shelter are arranged in five crates, as shown.
The manager of the shelter wants the kittens distributed equally among the crates. How might that be done? How many kittens will end up in each crate?
Crate 1 = 2 kittens
Crate 2 = 1 kitten
Crate 3 = 4 kittens
Crate 4 = 3 kittens
Crate 5 = 0 kitten
Total kittens = 2 + 1 + 4 + 3 + 0
= 10 kittens
To distribute them equally among the crates, divide the number of kittens by the number of crates
Kitten per crate = number of kittens / number of crates
= 10 kittens / 5 crates
= 2 kittens per crate
Kitten per crate = 2 kittens per crate
There's really no way to solve this problem apriori (unless you can use tools like lagrange polynomials to interpolate points), so I'll just tell you how to approach problems like this.
First of all, we may try to see if the dependence is linear: the input is always increased by 4 (4, 8, 12, 16,...) and the output increases by 2: (5, 7, 9, 11). So, the answer is yes.
Now that we know that these points lay on a line, we can conclude the exercise in several ways:
- We already know that the slope is 1/2 (4 units up in the x direction correspond to 2 units up in the y direction). So, we only need the y-intercept. If we go back one step, we can see that the next point would be (0, 3) (I decreased the x coordinate by 4 and the y coordinate by 2). So, the y intercept is 3, and the equation of the line is
- We can use the equation of the line passing through two points:
Plug in two points of your choice and you'll get the same answer.
Of course, as a third alternative, you could just have eyeballed the answer: the fact that x grows twice as fast as y could have hinted the x/2 part, and then you could have seen that y is always 3 more than half of x, again leading to y=x/2+3.
