Answer 1

Answer:

choice B- no

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Nate has 100 bananas. He will eat 2 of them every day.

Let x represent number of days. So bananas eaten in x days would be .

Total number of bananas, y, left after x days would be

We know that two proportional quantities are in form , where, k is constant of proportionality.

Since our equation is not in form , therefore, number of bananas Nate has left is not proportional to the number of days that pass.
