Question

what does the point u represent? shivani gives a group of 6 kids a total of 18 caramel chews. shivani gives a group of 18 kids a total of 6 caramel chews.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the graph axes

The x - axis represents the number of kids, and the y - axis represents the number of caramel chews.

Step2: Analyze the first statement

For the statement "Shivani gives a group of 6 kids a total of 18 caramel chews", when \(x = 6\) (number of kids), we check the graph. From the slope of the line (which represents the rate of caramel chews per kid), if we assume the proportional relationship \(y=kx\) (where \(y\) is caramel chews and \(x\) is kids), from the graph, when \(x = 2\), \(y = 6\), so \(k=\frac{y}{x}=\frac{6}{2}=3\). So when \(x = 6\), \(y=3\times6 = 18\), which matches the first statement.

Step3: Analyze the second statement

For the statement "Shivani gives a group of 18 kids a total of 6 caramel chews", if \(x = 18\), using \(y = 3x\), \(y=3\times18 = 54
eq6\), so this statement is wrong.

Answer:

Shivani gives a group of 6 kids a total of 18 caramel chews.
