"a ∝ b" means "a is proportional to b", which in turn means there is some constant k such that
a = kb
We're given that a = 18 and b = 3, so that
18 = 3k ⇒ k = 6
Then when b = 5, we would have
a = 6 × 5 = 30
Think: You're treating the numerator and the denom. in precisely the same way. In doing so you are NOT changing the value of the fraction, only the appearance.
Example: start with 2/3. Mult num. and den. both by 7: 14/21.
2/3 and 14/21 result in precisely the same decimal fraction, showing that the latter set of fractions is equivalent to the former set.
Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of chicken wings at Buffalo Bills = 8 wings for $7
Cost of 1 wing at Buffalo Bills = 
Cost of chicken wings at Buffalo Mild Wings = 12 wings for $10
Cost of 1 wing at Buffalo Mild Wings = 
Cost of chicken wings at Wingers = 20 wings at $17
Cost of 1 wing at Wingers = 
Hence, comparing all the three costs per wing, we can see that Buffalo Mild Wings is serving chicken wings at lowest price of $0.833 per wing.
Answer:
24 ÷ 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Putting something into fourths is putting into 4 parts. If you divide 24 by 4 you get 6. 6 equals 1/4 of 24. To check your work add 6 together 4 times.
