Question

Tell whether the two quantities vary directly. Explain your reasoning. The cafeteria provides three meals per day.

Answer 1

Answer:

The cafeteria provides three meals per day.

Reason 1

Yes, they vary directly  

As number of days increases ,Total number of meals i.e

1st day ⇒ 3

2nd day⇒6

3 rd day⇒9

4th day⇒12

......................

.........................

increases.

Total number of Meals = k×Number of days

But there is another possibility also

Reason 2

1 st day ⇒ 3

2nd day ⇒3

3rd day⇒ 3

.....................

.....................

As you can see from the above expression On each day number of meals is  

constant.

So we can say that ,

On each Day=Constant amount of meal=3

So, there is no Proportionality between Days and Meal.
