<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

The constant of proportionality is 24

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

The number of cups of sugar is directly proportional to the number of cookies made. This means that as the number of sugar cups increases, the number of cookies made will also increase.

<u>This is modeled by the equation:</u>

y = kx

where:

k is the constant of proportionality

y is the dependent variable (number of cookies)

x is the independent variable (number of cups of sugar)

<u>Now, we are give that</u> 4 cups of sugar are required to make 96 cookies. <u>Substitute with these values in the above equation and solve for k (the constant of proportionality) as follows:</u>

y = kx

96 = k*4

k = \frac{96}{4}=24

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

constant of proportionality is

k=24

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

formula

y=kx

as we can see that cookies are dependent on number of cup of sugar

number of cup of sugar are independent hence

x=number of cup of sugars=4

y=number of cookies=96

to find k

we will put values of x and y in formula

y=kx

k=y/x

k=96/4

k=24

Are 2/5 and 6/10 are eqivalent
jeka57 [31]
No, because 2/5 in decimal form is 0.4 and 6/10 in decimal form is 0.6, so it's obviously not equal.

Find the area of the triangle whose vertices are (0,4) , (0,0) and (2,0) by plotting them on graph
Luden [163]

Refer to the attached image. Since one vertex is the origin and the other two lay on the coordinate axes, the triangle is a right triangle. This means that, if we consider AB to the be base, AC is his height, and vice versa.

Anyway, it means that the area is given by

A = \cfrac{\overline{AB}\times\overline{AC}}{2}

Since AB is a horizontal segment and AC is a vertical segment, their length is given by the absolute difference of the non-constant coordinate: points A and B share the same x coordinate, so we subtract the y coordinates:

\overline{AB} = |2-0| = |2| = 2

The opposite goes for AC: points A and C share the same y coordinate, so we subtract the x coordinates:

\overline{AC} = |4-0| = |4| = 4

So, the area is

A = \cfrac{2\times 4}{2} = 4
