+8261 Members of the marching band are making their own color-guard flags. Each rectangular flag requires 0.6 square yards of material. The material costs $2 per square yard.
Question) Write a verbal model that relates the number of flags and the total cost of the material.
Please help me. Thanks.
+4473 Those are the variables: x = number of flags, y = number of square yards, & z = total cost -->
In verbal form:
The number of square yards needed is equal to 0.6 times the number of flags required. The total cost of the material will be 2 times the square yards needed.
+4473 Since each flag requires 0.6 square yards of material and the material costs $2 per square yard:
Let x = number of flags & y = number of square yards needed -->
y = 0.6x
Then, let z = total cost of the material -->
z = 2y
EDIT: It should be z = 2y; I had written 1.2 before.
