The quantity of pounds of pencils that Jason gets, based on his sharing ratio, is <u>0.15 pounds</u>.

<h3>What is the sharing ratio?</h3>

The sharing ratio is the percentage or ratio that is held by a person out of the total value of the thing being shared.

Jason's share of the pencil can be determined by multiplying the total pencils in the box (1.5 x ¹/₂) by Jason's sharing ratio (¹/₅).

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Quantity of pencils bought = 1.5 pounds

Half of the pencils in a box = 0.75 pounds (1.5 x ¹/₂)

The pounds got by Jason from the box = <u>0.15 </u>(0.75 x ¹/₅)

Thus, the quantity of pounds of pencils that Jason gets is <u>0.15 pounds</u>.

What is the slope of the graph? (PLEASE HELP)
Snowcat [4.5K]

to calculate the slope m , use the ' gradient formula '

m = \frac{y_{2-y_{1} } }{x_{2-x_{1} } }

with (x_{1},y_{1} ) = (0, - 1 ) and (x_{2},y_{2}) = (1, 5 )

m = \frac{5+1}{1-0} = 6

Which table shows a proportional relationship between x and y?
Semenov [28]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportional relationship is a relationship which crosses through the origin (0,0) and which has a proportional constant. We can determine this either by finding (0,0) where x=0 and y=0 in the table or by dividing y/x. None of the tables contain (0,0) so we will divide y by x. We are looking for a table which when each y is divided by its x we have the same constant appearing.

<u>Table A</u>

\frac{12}{3} \neq \frac{15}{6} \neq \frac{18}{8} \neq \frac{20}{10}

These fractions are not equal. This is not proportional.

<u>Table B</u>

\frac{0.5}{1}=\frac{1}{2}  =\frac{3.5}{7} =\frac{4}{8}

These fractions are equal and each shows the numerator to be half of the denominator. This is proportional.

<u>Table C</u>

\frac{1}{3}\neq \frac{2.5}{7.5} \neq \frac{4}{15} \neq \frac{6}{20}

These fractions are not equal. This is not proportional.

<u>Table D</u>

\frac{7}{2} \neq \frac{9}{3}\neq  \frac{11}{4} \neq \frac{13}{5}

These fractions are not equal. This is not proportional.
