The proportion that could be used to solve for the variable is \frac{16}{40}=\frac{3}{h} ; h = 7.5 ⇒ answer b

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportional relationship: one variable is always a constant value times the other, that constant is called the constant of proportionality

  • y = k x is the equation of the proportional relationship
  • We can write the proportional relationship in the form \frac{y_{1}}{x_{1}}=\frac{y_{2}}{x_{2}}=k

The number of walls and the number of hours are increased or decreased together

∴ The number of walls and the number of hours are proportion

∵ 16 walls in 40 hours

∵ 3 walls in h hours

- By using the second rule above

∴ \frac{16}{40}=\frac{3}{h}

The proportion that could be used to solve for the variable is  \frac{16}{40}=\frac{3}{h}

Let us solve it to find h

∵  \frac{16}{40}=\frac{3}{h}

- By using cross multiplication

∴ 16 × h = 3 × 40

∴ 16 h = 120

- Divide both sides by 16

∴ h = 7.5

The value of h is 7.5 hours
