Question

the table represents the amount of storage space, in megabytes, used by music files on zayds computer.
zayds music storage
number of files space used (mb)
10 15
20 30
30 45
40 60
50 75
which statement best describes the relationship between storage space and number of music files?
as the number of files increases, the storage space used increases.
as the number of files increases, the storage space used decreases.
as the number of files remains constant, the storage space used increases.
as the number of files remains constant, the storage space used decreases.

Explanation:

Looking at the table, as the number of files goes from 10 to 20 to 30 etc., the space used goes from 15 to 30 to 40 etc. Each increase in the number of files corresponds to an increase in storage space used, showing a positive direct relationship. The other options describe decreases or changes when files are constant, which do not match the data.

Answer:

As the number of files increases, the storage space used increases.
