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

0.985 rounded to the nearest tenth
GarryVolchara [31]
They always try to trick you with this.  Remember anything 5 or above would round up, anything 4 and under would round down.  So look for the tenth place.  that's the 9.  The number to the right is 8 which is greater than 5.  That means round up.  You can't round it to 0.1 because that takes it back down.  So you just move it over.  The answer is 1.0.

6/10 + 20/100 = 8/10
TiliK225 [7]

6/10 can be simplified but we don't need to worry about it right now. We only need to worry about simplifying 20/100:

20/100 → 10/50 → 5/25 → 1/5

Find common denominators

1/5 → 2/10

6/10

Now, add.

6/10 + 2/10 = 8/10

Therefore, the equation is true.

Best of Luck!
