Me a machine in a shoe factory produces shoelaces. the number of shoelaces it produces is proportional to the time. it can produce twelve shoelaces in three minutes. write an equation to represent this proportional relationship. in your answer, make sure to define the variables you used.

Oh gosh i love these questions. so, to find the proportion/unit rate, we do 12 shoelaces over 3 minutes i believe. we need to find x over y as our unit rate basically. so, write s (shoelaces) over m (minutes) a divide sign and then x (unit rate for shoelaces) over y (unit rate for minutes). i hope this is correct, else just look online for unit rate !

Hello.x=number of shoe laces.y=time.12/3=4.have a amazing day and good luck with school. bye!

X = The number of shoelaces 

Y= Time 

12÷3=4

I hope this helped.
