Four balls of wool will make 8 knitted caps. how many balls of wool will malcom need if he wants to make 6 caps. explain with ratio table.

8/4 = 2 caps per ball of wool

 so 6/2 = 3 balls of wool are needed.

4/8 = x/6

8x/24

x = 24/8 = 3

a) y = -3x +2

b) y = 1/2x -6

these 2 can be combined into one equation.

-3x +2 = .5x -6

8 = 3.5x

x = 8 / 3.5 = 2.2857142857

y = -3 * (8 / 3.5) +2

y = (-24 / 3.5) + 2

y = -4.8571428571
