the answer for this one would be y = 0.5x

Answer:

Proportion states that the two ratios or fractions are equal.

Here, y represents the cost of x ounces of blueberries.

As per the given statement:

A fruit stand sells 8-ounce containers of blueberries for $4.00.

then by definition of proportion we have;

\(\frac{4}{8} = \frac{y}{x}\)

By cross multiply we get;

\(4x = 8y\)

Divide both sides by 8 we get;

\(y = \frac{1}{2} x\)

or

\(y = 0.5x\)

Therefore, the equation that correctly models this proportional relationship is, y = 0.5x
