Let's call the number you thought of n. Then what the two steps you took can be written as an equation:
n+4\frac{5}{7}=12n

Subtract n to get all of your variables to one side:
4\frac{5}{7}=11n

At this point, I recommend turning your mixed number into an improper fraction. It will make things easier later on:
\frac{33}{7}=11n

Now divide both sides by 11 to get the value of n:
\frac{3}{7}=n

VashaNatasha [74]

Step-by-step explanation:

A chef uses 2/3 cup of flour for every 1/8 cup of water in a dough recipe.

It means,

2/3 cup = 1/8 cup of water

1\ \text{cup}=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{8}}{\dfrac{2}{3}}\\\\=0.1875

Hence, the constant of proportionality is 0.1875.

How to find equation of line passing through the points (x,y)​
DochEvi [55]

First you must acknowledge that you are dealing with a line therefore you must write linear equation or linear function in this case.

Linear function has a form of,

y=mx+n

Then calculate the slope <em>m</em> using the coordinates of two points. Let say <em>A(x1, y1)</em> and <em>B(x2, y2)</em>,

m=\dfrac{\Delta{y}}{\Delta{x}}=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Now pick a point either <em>A</em> or <em>B</em> and insert coordinates of either one of them in the linear equation also insert the slope you just calculated, I will pick point <em>A</em>.

y_1=mx_1+n

From here you solve the equation for n,

y_1=mx_1+n\Longrightarrow n=y_1-mx_1

So you have slope <em>m</em> and variable <em>n</em> therefore you can write down the equation of the line,

f(x)=m_{slope}x+n_{variable}

Hope this helps.
