Using proportions, it is found that the average waste produced by each plant on a monthly basis is of 0.8 tons per month.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, there is a period of 60 x 12 = 720 months, with 104 plants, and 60,000 tons of waste were produced, hence the average is given by:

A = 60000/(720 x 104) = 0.8 tons per month.

Given a <span>graph showing the relationship between daily caffeine consumption and resting heart rate for some adults.

In the graph, the y-axis is labelled 'resting heart rate (bpm)' while the x-axs is labelled 'total coffee intake (cups)'

From the graph it can be seen that the y-value increases as the x-value increases.

Thus the phrases that describe the relationship between heart rate and daily intake of caffeine are as follows:

In a school, the ratio of soccer players to volleyball players is 4 : 1. The number of soccer players is how many times the numb
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Your question appears to be phrased incorrectly.  If the ratio of soccer players to football players is 4:1 then for every 1 football player there are 4 soccer players.  For example, if there are 3 football players, there would be 12 soccer players.

The equivalent expression would be   S = 4F

The statement: "there are 4 more soccer players than football players" is not the same thing.  It simply means that we add 4 to the total of football players to find out how many soccer players there are.

The equivalent expression would be   S = F + 4

That being said:  An equivalent ratio to 4:1  would be  8:2 ,  12:3,  16:4, ...

Think of the ratio as a fraction.  4:1 = 4/1

4/1 = 8/2 = 12/3 = 16/4 ..., etc.
