Answer: 
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:
Answer:
We want to simplify:
(3 + 1/4)*(3/5)
The first step is to write the first term as a single rational number.
We know that:
3*1 = 3
and 4/4 = 1
then:
3*1 = 3*(4/4) = (3*4)/4 = 12/4
We do this because we want to have the same denominator in both numbers, so we can directly add them.
Then we get:
(3 + 1/4)*(3/5) = (12/4 + 1/4)*(3/5) = (13/4)*(3/5)
And remember that in the multiplication of rational numbers the numerator are multiplied together and the same for the denominators, then we get:
(13/4)*(3/5) = (13*3)/(4*5)
If we solve the multiplications we get:
(13*3)/(4*5) = (39/20)
Now, we can notice that in the numerator we have two prime numbers, 13 and 3.
And in the denominators, we have a 4 (which is equal to 2*2) and a 5.
So the prime numbers in the numerator and the denominator are all different, this means that we can not simplify it furthermore.
Then we have:
(3 + 1/4)*(3/5) = (39/20)
<span>two equivalent expressions for: 3a + 12
3(a + 4)
2a + 12 + a
hope that helps</span>
C I think not sure I think tho.
