Answer:

a) 110 mm

b) y = 11x

Step-by-step explanation:

The unit rate for  6 CD at 66 mm is

66mm / 6 CD  = 11 mm per CD

a) 10 CD's

66 mm      x mm

---------  = ------------

6 CD            10 CD

Using cross products

66 * 10 = 6x

660 = 6x

Divide by 6

660/6 = x

110 mm for 10 CD's

b)   y =  11 x

We use the rate and multiply by the number of cases to get the height
