<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

Which of the following expressions represents the GCF of 91x 2 y and 104xy 3?
zlopas [31]
The greatest common factor is found by finding the product of common primes.

91=7*13, 104=2*2*2*13  so the gcf of 91 and 104 is 13.  Since the highest power of x and y in both terms is 1, the hcf for the variables is just xy

13xy

A decorative window is made up of a rectangle with semicircles at either end. The ratio of AD to AB is 3:2 and AB is 30 inches.
scZoUnD [109]

Answer: The required ratio will be

84:1034

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Ratio of AD to AB is 3:2

Length of AB = 30 inches

So, it becomes

2x=30\\\\x=\frac{30}{2}=15\ inches

So, Length of AD becomes

3x=3\times 15=45\ inches

Now, at either end , there is a semicircle.

Radius of semicircle along AB is given by

\frac{30}{2}=15\ inches

So, Area of semicircle along AB and CD is given by

2\times \frac{\pi r^2}{2}\\\\=\frac{22}{7}\times 15\times 15\\\\=\frac{4950}{7}\ in^2

Radius of semicircle along AD is given by

\frac{45}{2}=22.5\ inches

Area of semicircle along AD and BC is given by

2\times \frac{1}{2}\pi r^2\\\\=\frac{22}{7}\times \frac{45}{2}\times \frac{45}{2}\\\\=\frac{445500}{28}\ in^2

And the combined area of the semicircles is given by

\frac{4950}{7}+\frac{445500}{28}\\\\=\frac{465300}{28}\ in^2

Area of rectangle is given by

Length\times width\\\\=AD\times AB\\\\=45\times 30\\\\=1350\ in^2

Hence, Ratio of the area of the rectangle to the combined area of the semicircles is given by

1350:\frac{465300}{28}\\\\=1350\times 28:465300\\\\=37800:465300\\\\=84:1034

Hence, the required ratio will be

84:1034

Aleksandr [31]
Malik earned $243.

When he bought the tires, he spent $90 ($45x2), and he sold them for $130 ($65x2). So his profit was $40 ($130-$90).

He bought three rims for $225 ($85x3) and sold them all for $378 ($126x3). His profit was $153 ($378-$225).

The headlight covers cost him $25 in total ($5x5). He sold them all and got $75 ($15x5). The profit was $50 ($75-$25).

The total amount of money made was $243 ($40+$153+$50).
