You can first set up a ratio to see how many TOTAL computers are needed for a r to 12 ratio.
(5/12) = (x/924) Now cross multiply to solve. 12x = 5(924) 12x = 4620
Divide both sides by 12. x = 385
There are a total of 385 computers needed for the school to have a 5:12 ratio.
Since the school already has 125 computers subtract 385-125 = 260. They need to purchase 260 more computers.

Answer:

260 computers will be required more for 125 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

As it is given in the question school wants to have 5 computer for every 12 students.

Current number of computers are 125 and number of students are 924.

Let the number of computers is n for 924 students and the ratio of computers and students is 5 : 12

So \frac{\text{Current number of computers}}{\text{Current number of students}}=\frac{5}{12}

Therefore, \frac{x}{924}=\frac{5}{12}

x = \frac{924\times 5}{12}=385

But the number computers is = 125

Therefore, number of computers required more will be

385 - 125 = 260

260 computers will be required more for 125 students.

Which equation shows a proportional relationship between x and y?
Effectus [21]

Given:

There exist a proportional relationship between x and y.

To find:

The equation which represents a proportional relationship between x and y.

Solution:

If there exist a proportional relationship between x and y, then

y\propto x

y=kx

where, k is constant of proportionality.

We know that, proportional relationship passes through the origin because (0,0) satisfy y=kx.

For x=0, check which equation has y=0.

In option A, y=-3(0)-2=-2.

In option B, y=9.

In option C, y=4(0)=0.

In option D, y=3(0)+1=1

Only in option C, we have a equation of the form y=kx with 4 as constant of proportionality and it passes through (0,0).

Therefore, the correct option is C.
