Answer:
1.25x=y
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation:
1. we have to divide 5 by 4 to see how many bird houses he can build every 1 hour, hence: 5/4 = 1.25
he can build 1.25 bird houses every hour, so basically one and 1/4.
x = amount of hours and y = amount of bird houses, so you would write it like this:
1.25x=y
2. To check, we can apply it to this problem, so basically we just fill in the variables with the numbers:
1.25x=y x=4 y=5
1.25 (4) = 5
5 = 5
therefore, my equation works.
Have a nice day! :)
