Answer:

hope it helps...

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the constant of proportionality is k=5k=5

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form y/x=ky/x=k or y=kxy=kx

The value of the constant k is equal to the value of the slope

In this problem we have

y=5xy=5x ------> is a linear direct variation

The slope is m=5m=5

therefore

The value of the constant of proportionality is k=5k=5

Hello,..... I will mark you as a brainliest

madam [21]

Answer:

5 jumps

Step-by-step explanation:

Personally I would write it out, although there surely is a formula for it.

3 fall to 2 - 5 fall to 4 - 7 fall to 6 - 10 fall to 9 - 12.

This makes 5 jumps, since once he is out he won't fall back in.

A machine at a bottling company fills water bottles. the number of bottles filled is proportional to the amount of time the mach

Whitepunk [10]

In the table shown below:

Let N be the number of bottles filled,

Let T be the time in hours.

Given that the number of bottles filled is proportional to the amount of time the machine runs, we have

$\begin{gathered} N\propto T \\ \text{Introducing a proportionality constant, we have } \\ N\text{ = kT} \\ \Rightarrow k\text{ = }\frac{N}{T} \\ \end{gathered}$

Let's evaluate the value of k for each day.

Thus, on monday,

$\begin{gathered} N\text{ = 9900} \\ T\text{ = 5.5} \\ \text{thus,} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{9900}{5.5} \\ \Rightarrow k\text{ = 1800} \end{gathered}$

Tuesday:

$\begin{gathered} N\text{ = }11160 \\ T\text{ = }6.2 \\ \text{thus,} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{11160}{6.2} \\ \Rightarrow k\text{ = 1800} \end{gathered}$

Wednesday:

$\begin{gathered} N\text{ = }12330 \\ T\text{ = }6.25 \\ \text{thus,} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{12330}{6.25} \\ \Rightarrow k\text{ = 1972.8} \end{gathered}$

Thursday:

$\begin{gathered} N\text{ = }10440 \\ T\text{ = }5.80 \\ \text{thus,} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{10440}{5.8} \\ \Rightarrow k=1800 \end{gathered}$

It is observed that all exept wednesday have the same value of k.

Thus, the amount of time required for the number of bottles filled on wednesday is evaluated as

$\begin{gathered} N\text{ = }12330 \\ k\text{ = 1800} \\ T\text{ = ?} \\ \text{but} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{N}{T} \\ 1800\text{ = }\frac{12330}{T} \\ \Rightarrow T\text{ = }\frac{\text{12330}}{1800} \\ T\text{ = 6.85} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the incorrect day is Wednesday. The amount of time for that many bottles should be 6.85 hours.

An office manager estimates that she spends 40% of her 30-minute lunch

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

answer = 12 min

Step-by-step explanation:

40% of 30 min = ?

10% of 30 min = 3

3*4 = 12

Thus, she spends 12 min of her 30 min lunch driving

P.S.

If the answer is wrong, then multiply it by two and retry
