The length of a section of fence() is directly proportional to the number of
pickets (x). if there are 22 pickets in a fence section that is 110 inches long,
which equation models this situation?
a. y= 22x
o b. y=1/5x
c. y= 5.5x
o d. y= 5x

The equation that models the situation is y = 5x

How to determine the equation?

The variation is given as a direct proportion

This means that:

Length (y) = constant (k) * pickets (x)

So, we have:

y = kx

When x = 22, y = 110.

So, we have:

110 = 22k

Divide both sides by 22

k = 5

Substitute k = 5 in y = kx

y = 5x

Hence, the equation that models the situation is y = 5x
