Answer:

If the bacteria grow for six hours, each bacterium will divide 3 times per hour × 6 hours = 18 times.

Every time the bacteria reproduce, the number doubles.

Which equation does NOT represent a proportional relationship between two variables with the constant of proportinality of? 1/2
Dimas [21]

Answer:

(D) y=x+\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Two variables x and y are proportionally related  if they can be written in the form y=kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.

From the given options, if k=\frac{1}{2}

(B)y=\frac{1}{2}x is of the form y=kx

(C)y=\frac{3}{6}x is of the form y=kx with k=\frac{1}{2} as \frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2} in its lowest form.

(C)y=0.5x is of the form y=kx with k=\frac{1}{2} as 0.5=\frac{1}{2} in fractional form.

On the Contrary,

In Option D, y=x+\frac{1}{2} does not represent a proportional relationship between x and y. The constant of proportion is supposed to be a product of x.

The appropriate mixing ratio for a solution to kill bloodborne pathogens is 1 part chlorine to 10 parts water. If you are mixing
lorasvet [3.4K]
The ratio is:
Chlorine : Water = 1 : 10
m ( Water ) = 15 ounces
m ( Chlorine ) = x
x : 15 = 1 : 10
10 x = 15 * 1
10 x = 15
x = 15 : 10
x = 1.5 ounces
Answer:
We need to add 1.5 ounces of Chlorine for the correct ratio.

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

1/45

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 10 marbles

P ( yellow) = yellow marbles / total = 2/10 = 1/5

We do not replace the marble

There are 9 marbles, 1 of which is yellow

P ( yellow) = yellow marbles / total = 1/9

P ( yellow, no replacement, yellow) = 1/5 * 1/9 = 1/45
