Answer: k=\frac{3}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise it is important to remember the following:

The constant of proportionality, which is represented as "k", describe  the constant ratio of two quantities that are proportional (the independent and dependent variables).

In this case we know that the independent quantity represents the total members of the band and the dependent quantity represents the woodwind members of the band.

Since the band consists of 3 woodwinds for every 7 members of the band, we can conclude that the constant of  proportionality for this relationship is:

k=\frac{3}{7}

Find the ordered pairs for x and y intercepts of the equation 3x - 2y =18
My name is Ann [436]
                  
                                                           3x - 2y = 18
Wherever the line crosses the
x-axis, y=0.                                         3x        = 18
                                                             x        =  6
The x-intercept is                                    (6, 0)  .


                                                           3x - 2y = 18
Wherever the line crosses the
y-axis,  x=0.                                            - 2y = 18
                                                                   y = -9
The y-intercept is                                        (0, -9)  .

The ratio of oranges to apples in Helen's basket is 4:3. The basket has 12 apples in it. How many oranges are in the basket?
frez [133]

Answer:

16 oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of oranges to apples is 4:3 which means that for every four oranges, there are 3 apples.

Since there are 12 apples in the basket, to find the number of oranges, set up a ratio.

4/3 = x/12 (x represents the number of oranges)

Cross multiply.

48 = 3x

Divide by 3.

x = 16

There are 16 oranges in the basket.

Hope that helps.
