Question

The number of fruit snacks available per student varies inversely with the number of students. There are 10 fruit snacks for each student when there are 6 students.

Which choice shows the inverse variation equation and the number of fruit snacks per student for 24 students?

Answer 1

Answer:

240 fruit snacks

Step-by-step explanation:

if there's 10 for every student you do 10 times 24 to get 240

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is = 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the given condition, the number of fruit snacks varies inversely with the number of students. Hence, it can be written that, $The number of fruit snack = \frac{k}{The number of students}$; where k is a constant.

It is given that for 6 students there are 10 fruit snacks.

Hence, k = $10 \times 6 = 60$

If the number of students will be 24 then, the number of fruit snacks will be = $\frac{60}{24} = 2.5$

The number of fruit snacks per student is 2.5 for 24 students.
