Direct Proportion functions look like this:
y=kx
'k' is the constant of proportionality and in this case its 7.5 or 15/2.
--------------------------------------------
When x=1, y=7.5
When x=2, y=15
When x=3, y=22.5
Therefore y is directly proportional to x.

DIRECT PROPORTION EXPLAINED:
Say a football costs £7.50. If you buy one football you'll have to pay out £7.50, but if you you buy two footballs you'll have to pay out £15.00. Therefore the cost of the football(s) is directly proportional to the amount of footballs you buy. C=cost, f=football(s) and C<span>∝f, therefore C=kf, but as k=7.5, C=7.5f.
INVERSE PROPORTION EXPLAINED:
If it were to take 8 hours for one bricklayer to set up a wall, how long would it take for two bricklayers to set up a wall? The answer in this case would be 4 hours.
T=time to set up a wall
b=bricklayer(s)
Therefore T</span><span>∝1/b, and T=k/b. In this case k=8 so T=8/b.
When b=1, T=8.
When b=2, T=4.
We'd say that the time it would take for bricklayers to set up a wall would be inversely proportional to the amount of bricklayers available.</span>
Answer:
3.5 gallons of punch
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 4 quarts in 1 gallon.
Set up equation to convert 14 quarts to gallons: 14÷4 = 3.5.
Elijah made 3.5 gallons of punch.
Answer:
Amount required = 2,217,600
Step-by-step explanation:
Dimensions of the rooms are as follows;
Room 1; 9 feet × 12 feet
Room 2; 14 ft × 16 ft
Room 3; 12 ft × 14 ft
Perimeter of rooms;
P1 = 2(9 + 12) = 42 ft
P2 = 2(14 + 16) = 60 ft
P3 = 2(12 + 14) = 52 ft
Total perimeter; P = 42 + 60 + 52 = 154 ft
Height is 90 ft.
Thus, total area is;
A = 154 × 90
A = 13860 ft²
Rate of painting is 160 per Sq.ft.
Thus amount to paint entire area = 160 × 13860 = 2217600
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
If you mean they are the sides lengths,
33^2+ 56^2 != 66^2
3136 != 4356
Answer: 56
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Number of red marbles = 5
Number of green marbles = 3
Number of yellow marbles = 3
Number of orange marbles = 3
Number of red and green marbles = 5+3=8
Now the possible number of sets (combinations) of five marbles are there in which all of them red or green will be :-
Hence, the number of sets of five marbles in which all of them red or green=56
