we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a direct variation if it can be expressed in the form $\frac{y}{x}=k$ or $y=kx$

where

k is the constant of proportionality

In this problem we have

$y=2.5x$

the constant of proportionality k is equal to

$k=2.5$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

$k=2.5$

The constant of proportionality in the equation $y = 2.5x$ is $\boxed{2.5}.$

Further explanation:

The relation is defined as the relationship between the input values and output values.

The x coordinates are the domain of the function and the y coordinates are the range of the function.

Given:

The equation is $y = 2.5x.$

Explanation:

The proportionality equation can be expressed as follows,

$y \propto x$

The value of $y$ changes as $x$ changes. If the value of $x$ increases then the value of y is also increasing.

The equation can be expressed as follows,

$y = kx$

The inversely proportional relationship can be expressed as,

$y \propto \dfrac{1}{x}$

Here, $k$ is the proportionality constant.

The given equation is $y = 2.5x.$

The y is the independent variable and $x$ is the dependent variable.

The proportionality constant is 2.5.

The constant of proportionality in the equation $y = 2.5x$ is $\boxed{2.5}.$

On a day, a video was posted online, 5 people watched the video. The next day the number of viewers had doubled. This tend conti

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Day 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The question can be represented with a geometric sequence

Where,

a = 5

Common ratio , r = 2

v(t) = a * r^(t - 1)

v(t) = 5 * 2^(t-1)

20,000 = 5 * 2^(t-1)

Divide both sides by 5

20,000 / 5 = 5 * 2^(t-1) / 5

4,000 = 2^(t-1)

2^12 = 2^(t-1)

12 = t - 1

12 + 1 = t

t = 13 days

What would be the day when more than 20,000 people will see the video

Check:

v(t) = 5 * 2^(t-1)

= 5 * 2^(13-1)

= 5 * 2^12

= 5 * 4,096

= 20,480

Therefore,

The day when more than 20,000 people will see the video is day 13

Riverside Elementary School is holding a school-wide election to choose a school color. Five-eighths of the votes were for blue,

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of votes to choose a color = x

Number of votes for blue = $\frac{5}{8}\times x$

Remaining votes = x - $\frac{5}{8}\times x$

= $\frac{8x-5x}{8}\times x$

= $\frac{3}{8}\times x$

Votes for green = $\frac{5}{9}\times (\text{Remaining votes})}$

= $\frac{5}{9}\times \frac{3x}{8}$

= $\frac{5}{24}\times x$

Finally remaining votes = $\frac{3x}{8}-\frac{5x}{24}$

= $\frac{9x-5x}{24}$

= $\frac{4x}{24}$

= $\frac{x}{6}$

Since these votes are for red therefore,

$\frac{x}{6}$ = 48

x = 48×6

= 288

a) Votes for blue are $\frac{5x}{8}$

Therefore, exact number for blue votes = $\frac{5\times 288}{8}$

= 5×36

= 180

b). Votes for green = $\frac{5x}{24}$

= $\frac{5\times 288}{24}$

= 60

c). Since 25 students were absent on that day of the vote, number of students at Riverside Elementary School = 288 + 25

= 313

d). Since seven tenths of the votes for blue were made by the girls.

Therefore, number of girls voted for blue = $\frac{7}{10}\times 180$

= 7×18

= 126

Since total votes made = 288

Therefore, half of the votes made = $\frac{288}{2}$

= 144

Now it's clear that number of votes made by girls is less than half of all the votes.

e). 126 girls voted for blue.

15 balls are in bag of red and blue balls if 6 is red how many red balls must be added to bag so that probability is 2÷3

Brut [27]

Answer: 12 red balls must be added

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting out with 15 balls, 6 red implies 9 blue. If blue remains 9, then we expect red to be 18 for a probability at 2/3. 18-6 = 12
