Question:
Find the constant of proportionality k. Then write an equation for the relationship between x and y
Answer:
(a)
(b)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Solving (a): The constant of proportionality:
Pick any two corresponding x and y values
The constant of proportionality k is:
Solving (b): The equation
In (a), we have:
k can also be expressed as:
Substitute values for x1, y1 and k
Cross multiply:
Open bracket
Add 10 to both sides
Answer:
Apple = $0.6
Banana = $0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us represent Apple by A and Banana by B
For Joe,
5A + 4B = 6 (1)
For Dawn
3A + 6B = 6.3 (2)
To eliminate A, Multiply equation (1) by 3 and equation (2) by 5
15A + 12B = 18 (3)
15A + 30B = 31.5 (4)
subtracting equation (4) from (3)
15A - 15A +12B - 30B = 18 - 31.5
-18B = -13.5
divide through by -18
-18B/-18 = -13.5/-18
B = 0.75
substitute 0.75 in equation (1)
5A + 4B = 6
5A + 4(0.75) = 6
5A + 3 = 6
subtract 3 from both sides
5A + 3 - 3 = 6 - 3
5A = 3
divide through by 5
5A/5 = 3/5
A = 0.6
Answer:
1/5 cup
Step-by-step explanation:
Sugar: water
1 5
We want 1 cup water, so divide each side by 5
1/5 : 5/5
1/5 : 1
There is 1/5 cup sugar to 1 cup water
