Answer:

s = 4t

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of shoelace produced be S and time taken to produce then be T

If the number of shoelaces it produces is proportional to the time, this can be expressed using a direct relationship as:

S∝T

S = kT where

k is the proportionality constant

If 12 laces of shoes can be produced in 3 minutes, then S = 12 and T = 3

The relationship above on substitution becomes

12 = 3k

k = 12/3

k = 4

If the proportionality constant is 4, then the equation representing the relationship will be:

s = 4t

Answer: y = 4x (y = shoelaces & x = minutes)

Step-by-step explanation: We know that 12 shoelaces are produced in 3 minutes and that the ratio of shoelaces produced to minutes spent is proportional. We can figure out, therefore, that if you multiply the number of minutes by 4, you will get the number of shoelaces. As an equation, this would be y = 4x (y = shoelaces & x = minutes).
