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! :)
