Question from Bianca, a student: x represents the number of hours since 8am. y represents the number of children the school nurse has seen during the school day. The nurse has seen 3 children by 8am and 27 children by noon. |
Hi Bianca,
There are 4 hours from 8:00 am until noon and the nurse has seen 27 - 3 = 24 children in this time period. If they come at a steady rate how many children has she seen per hour?
