Question

Linda has outgrown the bike she rode when she was small. So, for her twelfth birthday, her parents surprise her with a five-speed Blaze Rider 2000! Linda has never had a bike with multiple speeds before, and she is eager to learn how it works. She starts by testing the middle speed. There is a proportional relationship between the number of times Linda pedals, x, and the number of times the wheels rotate, y. The equation that models this relationship is y=3x. How many times do the wheels rotate when Linda pedals 2 times? Write your answer as a whole number or decimal

Answer 1

Answer:

6 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the proportuonal relationship between exists between the number times Linda pedals (x) and the number of times wheels rotate (y) as ;

y = 3x

How many times do the wheels rotate when Linda pedals 2 times

Here, x = 2

From ; y = 3x

y = 3(2) = 6

Hence, wheel rotates 6 times.
