Question

Esther the Clown does face painting at the city carnival. She paints 7 faces every 21 minutes and spends the same amount of time painting each face.

Write an equation that relates f, the number of faces she paints, and m, the time she spends painting in minutes.

Answer 1

Answer: m/f = minutes taken/faces painted in the given minutes = 3 minutes taken to paint one face.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are diving 21 minutes taken to paint 7 faces assuming that it takes equal amounts of time to paint each face. 21/7 will give us the time taken to paint one face, that is 3 minutes.
