Every spring, Jennifer plants colorful flowers in her garden. This year, she decides to plant petunias. She buys them at the garden store, brings them back home, and starts planting.

There is a proportional relationship between the amount of time (in minutes) Jennifer has been working in her garden, 

*x*,

 and the number of petunias she has planted, 

*y*.

Petunias




It seems like you're describing a situation where Jennifer is planting petunias, and there is a proportional relationship between the amount of time (in minutes), \( x \), and the number of petunias she plants, \( y \).

To help solve or analyze this problem, we need to know the specific relationship between \( x \) (minutes) and \( y \) (petunias planted). This relationship could be written in the form of:

\[
y = kx
\]

Where \( k \) is the constant of proportionality.

To proceed:
1. Do you have data points for the number of petunias planted over time? (For example, values of \( x \) and \( y \) at different intervals).
2. Alternatively, do you know how many petunias she can plant per minute (which would give us the constant \( k \))?

With more information, I can help you calculate the relationship or solve specific questions related to this scenario!

Would you like to provide any additional details or clarify what you're looking to solve?

Here are 5 relative questions that might expand your understanding:
1. How many petunias does Jennifer plant in the first 5 minutes?
2. Can we calculate the number of petunias planted after 10 minutes?
3. What is the constant of proportionality \( k \) in this case?
4. How long would it take Jennifer to plant 50 petunias at the same rate?
5. What kind of graph would represent this proportional relationship?

**Tip**: In proportional relationships, the ratio \( \frac{y}{x} \) (or rate) remains constant, which simplifies solving and predicting outcomes!
