15 paperclips or equal size weigh 2 grams altogether. Is the number of paperclips proportional to their weight?

1 answer:

4 0

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

The radius, r, of a circle is one-half of the length of its diameter, d. r= r= d + r = d 2 r = d r = d

PIT_PIT [208]

If the radius is HALF of the diameter, then the expression would be 1/2r=d or d/2=r.

The lengths of one house is not proportional to the lengths of the other house because the structure of the houses are not the same.

<h3>How to depict the information?</h3>

The scale factors can be used to show that the homes are or are not proportional. This can show that the first house doesn't have chimney and rtw second one has.

The role of the surface area take in the building of a house is that it tells us about the sum of its total area covered by the four walls.

The advantage that exist for a house with a large amount of surface area is that it gives more stability.
