Answer: Yes, y does vary directly with x.
Constant of variation = 1/4
The function rule is y = (1/4)x
=========================================================
Explanation:
Let's assume that y does vary directly with x.
If that's the case, then we have an equation in the form y = kx, where k is the constant of variation.
Solving for k gets us k = y/x
For each row, divide the y value over the x value
- row one: k = y/x = 14/56 = 0.25
- row two: k = y/x = 20/80 = 0.25
- row three: k = y/x = 22/88 = 0.25
Each row yields the value k = 0.25 and it fully confirms y does vary directly with x.
So y = kx becomes y = 0.25x as the function rule, which is equivalent to y = (1/4)x
60 mm converts to 6 centimeters.
the ratio of 6 to 45 can be simplified to
2 : 15
If Adam has 16.45 kg of flour and he uses 6.4 kg to make hot cross buns, then he has left
16.45 - 6.4 = 10.05 kg of flour.
If Adam wants to use the remaining flour to make 15 batches of scones, then each batch of scones requires
10.05 : 15 = 0.67 kg of flour.
Answer: each batch of scones requires 0.67 kg of flour.
Answer:
6 hours. ( I DID IT USING PROPORTIONS!)
Step-by-step explanation:
houses/hours
130/2.5= 312/x
(cross multiply)
130x = 780
130x/130 = 780/ 130 (divide each by 130)
6 = h
