Use complete sentences to describe a relationship between two sets that you can describe mathematically. for example, if you make a habit of eating 10 carrot sticks a day you could mathematically describe the relationship between the number of days in the month and the number of carrot sticks you eat in that month.

For this case we will use the example of carrots.

The first thing we must do is define variables.

We have then:

x: number of days in the month

y: total amount of carrots consumed

We now write the relationship between the variables.

We know that you eat 10 carrots per day.

We have then:

y = 10x

Writing the relationship in complete sentences we have:

The relationship between the number of days and the number of carrots is directly proportional. The constant of proportionality is equal to ten.

The relationship between the number of days and the number of carrots is directly proportional. The constant of proportionality is equal to ten.

y = 10x
