Hey there! :D
Think of it this way. The question is saying that the text messages are all equally the same value, or expense. If you were to divide 16 by $3.20, you would find that each text was the same amount to send. That the input (the number of text messages) is directly related in the same pattern to the output (the cost of the text messages).
A. What is the constant of proportionality in this proportional relationship?
A constant of proportionality is what makes x directly relate in proportion to y. We are trying to find the variable that makes y= (?)x
16y= 3.20x
Divide both sides by 16.
y=0.20x or y=0.2x
The constant is the value that goes with the variable. .20 is the constant. '
B. Write an equation to represent this proportional relationship. Make sure to define the variables you use.
We already know that 0.20 is the constant number. In other words, every text message cost $.20.
Text messages= T cost= C
C= T(0.20)
For every text message (T), it is multiplied by 0.20, to make the accurate cost (C).
I hope this helps!

The two equations for the set up are:
x+y=23 where x is the number of dimes and y is the number of nickles
10x+5y=185
Now you solve by elimination and substitution.
Multiply your first equation by -5 and add the two equations together
-5x-5y=-115
+10x+5y=185
-------------------
5x=70
x=14
Substitute that into your original equation:
14+y=23
y=9
So you have 14 dimes and 9 nickles.

Answer:
18 Times
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the least amount by the six weeks. You multiply the least amount because the frog came every 3 days and the raccoon came every 7 days. Piper would see the frog and the raccoon at the same times on the least of the frog. The raccoon came all week while the frog came on limited times.
Hope this helps,
