So the numbers are x and y
x:y=5:4
x/y=5/4
this means that x is worth 5 units and y is worth 4 units so
x:y=5:4, therefore it can be represented by
x:y=5z:4z
we know that they add to 720
720=5z+4z
add like terms
720=9z
divide by 9
80=z
multiply by 4
320

80=z
mutipply by 5
400

the numbers are 400 and 320

I really need help.... i am doing k12 online and i have SO much overdue and i need help, I MIGHT FAIL 6th GRADE!! i know thats n
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Table 1(red)

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportional relationship will have a constant of proportionality between y and x all through the data given.

Constant of proportionality, k = y/x

Table 1 (red):

y/x = 5/1 = 10/2 = 20/4 = 5

k = 5 all through, therefore, this table show a proportional relationship between x and y

Table 2 (blue):

y/x = 1/6 ≠2/9 ≠ 4/15

This doesn't have a constant of proportionality, k, that is the same all through in the given table of values. Therefore, it doesn't show any proportional relationship between x and y
