Question
A landscaping company is delivering crushed stone to a construction site. The table shows the total weight in pounds, W, of n loads of crushed stone.
Which equation could represent the total weight, in pounds, for n loads of crushed stone?
number of loads of crushed stone | total weight in pounds |
0 | 0 |
1 | 3,000 |
2 | 6,000 |
3 | 9,000 |
a. W = 6,000/n
b. W = 6,000 - 3,000n
c. W = 3,000n
d. W = n + 3,000
