The total number of eggs, T, collected in one day from a chicken coop is proportional to the number of chickens, C, in the coop. If each chicken laid the same number of eggs, 4, which equation could be used to find the total number of eggs collected from the coop?

The total number of eggs T collected in one day from a chicken coop is proportional to the number of chickens C in the coop If each chicken laid the same number class=


Answer :

the answer is D 4 egg per chicken so it is  T=4C

Answer:

[tex]T=4C[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that [tex]T[/tex] represents the total number of eggs and [tex]C[/tex] represents the number of chickens.

According to the problem, this magnitudes are proportional that means

[tex]T=kC[/tex]

Where [tex]k[/tex] represents the constant of proportionality.

However, the problem states that each chicken laid the same number of eggs, 4. This means, the constant of proportionality is 4, that is [tex]k=4[/tex].

Therefore, the equation that could be used to the total number of eggs collected from the cop is

[tex]T=4C[/tex]

In words, the total number of eggs collected is 4 per chicken.
