Using proportions, it is found that the federal tax rate is of 10%.

<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.

The tax rate is the <u>proportion that $17.50 is of $175</u>, hence:

r = 17.50/175 = 0.1 = 10%.

The federal tax rate is of 10%.

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME WITH THIS QUESTION!!!

Answer:

E

Step-by-step explanation:

let a, b, c represent the number of students in 6th, 7th, 8th grade

ratio of students : teachers = 28 : 1

There are 82 teachers , so 28 × 82 = 2296 students

Then

a + b + c = 2296 , that is

828 + b + c = 2296 ( subtract 828 from both sides )

b + c = 1468 → E

Help please! the graph below​
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

The constant of proportionality is basically just the slope, so the answer is 1/6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Count how many Y units it goes up to get the the black point  from (0,0) (the origin). You go up 1 unit to go 6 units to the right meaning the slope is 1/6.

That is the rise over run technique and there are many others, such as point slope form, and y2-y1 over x2-x1.

Hope this helps!

a certain job can be done in 20 hours by 4 people. how many people are needed to do the same job in 10 hours?
maxonik [38]
If it takes 4 people to get a job done in 20 hours, then in 10 hours, it will take 2 people to complete the same job.
To find out how many people are needed to do this job in 10 hours, we can see that we got to 10 hours by dividing 20 by two so, to see how many people are needed to complete this same job in ten hours, we would just divide 4 people by 2 which is 2 people.
So, in conclusion, if it takes a certain job to be done in 20 hours by 4 people, then it would take 10 hours for that same job to be completed by 2 people.
Glad I could help!
