Esther the Clown does face painting at the city carnival. She paints 7 faces every 21 minutes.


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

Verified Answer :

Answer: \(m=3f\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Esther the Clown does face painting at the city carnival.

She paints 7 faces every 21 minutes.

So, the time taken by Esther to paint 1 Clown face =\(=\frac{\text{total minutes}}{\text{total faces}}=\frac{21}{7}=3\text{ minutes}\)

If 'f' represents the number of faces and 'm' represents the number of minutes, then the total time spent to make 'f' clown faces is given by :-

\(m=3f\)

Answer:

f = 1/3m

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. ? = f/m = 7/21 = 1/3
  2. f = 1/3m
