If a graph is proportional then the line will go through the origin at point (0, 0). If the equation is proportional then it will be in the form of y=kx with no other operations after. The constant of proportionality is another way to say the slope and in your specific equation the slope would be 1/5.
Well four plus seven would equal seven tenths.
Answer:
a. 3.2 cm
b. 6.25 km
Step-by-step explanation:
a.
(4 km)/(5 km) = 0.8
4 km is 0.8 of 5 km, so in the map it is 0.8 of 4 cm.
0.8 * 4 cm = 3.2 cm
Answer: 3.2 cm
b.
(5 cm)/(4 cm) = 1.25
5 cm is 1.25 times 4 cm, so it represents 1.25 * 5 km.
1.25 * 5 km = 6.25 km
Answer: 6.25 km
The best way to solve this problem is with a simple equation: part = percent (in decimal form) x whole
In this problem, we're trying to solve for the <em>whole </em>amount that the camera can hold, so we'll assign that the variable w.
We can use the information they gave us - 96 is the <em>part</em>, and 24% is the percent. We'll convert that to decimal form - 0.24
Then, we just plug these values back into the above equation:
96 = 0.24w
Divide both sides by 0.24 to get w on it's own, and you have your answer!
400 = w
Therefore, the memory card can hold up to 400 pictures.
Note: this equation is <em>super </em>helpful. It's good to have on hand for any problem involving percents, because you can solve for the part, percent, or whole depending on the problem.
