Proportionality indicates how quantity vary in relation with other quantities. There are two types of proportionality, that is direct proportionality where an increase or a decrease in a quantity causes a corresponding increase or decrease in the other variable and inverse proportionality where decrease in a variable causes an increase in the other variable and vicevarsa. In this case the 15 paperclips have a total weight of 2 grams therefore each clip contributes a weight of 0.0133 grams, thus increasing the paperclips also increases the total weight. Thus, the number of paper clips is direct proportional to the total weight

A student scored a 72, 75, and 83 on the first three tests. All tests have a possibility of 100 points (no bonus points). Is it
alexira [117]
Add 72, 75, and 83, which equal 230. Then, since there are three values, you divide the total (230) by 3, which would equal 76.6 (cont), therefore meaning they can only raise their average (using the three tests, from a base grade of 0) to a 76.6 percent (or 77 if teacher rounds grade)

Ben is saving 1/5 of his weekly pay to buy a car. Right and solve an equation to find what weekly pay W results in savings of $6
lesya [120]

To solve this problem, all we have to do is to closely analyze the situation. Now we are given that the amount of saving per week is equivalent to one fifth (1 / 5) of Ben’s weekly pay (or weekly salary).

Now we are to find the weekly pay or weekly salary that result in weekly savings of $61.50. So we can see that actually the value of 61.50 is one fifth (1 / 5) of W, therefore:

(1/ 5) W = 61.50

W = 5 * 61.50

W = $307.5

 

<span>Therefore a weekly pay of $307.5 will result in a weekly savings of $61.50</span>
