Y=3.6x is direct variation. The constant is 3.6
8y=2x is the same as y=0.25x. It is direct variation, and the constant is 0.25
1. Assuming "dinners made" is on the y-axis, DV is y=2x. The constant is 2
2. This is not direct variation, and therefore does not have a constant of variation
The amount of chlorine needed to treat a swimming pool is directly proportional to the volume of the poolWhat is the constant of proportionality for this relationship
Let the distance of the first part of the race be x, and that of the second part, 15 - x, then
x/8 + (15 - x)/20 = 1.125
5x + 2(15 - x) = 40 x 1.125
5x + 30 - 2x = 45
3x = 45 - 30 = 15
x = 15/3 = 5
Therefore, the distance of the first part of the race is 5 miles and the time is 5/8 = 0.625 hours or 37.5 minutes
The distance of the second part of the race is 15 - 5 = 10 miles and the time is 1.125 - 0.625 = 0.5 hours or 30 minutes.
Dependent variables: A variable whose value depends on the value of another variable or variables
independent variable: A variable whose value determines the value of another variable or variables
Answer:
(a)There are 24 cakes in total
(b)There are 15 pieces of cakes left
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total cakes=x
Let number of cakes eaten by Mindy=m
Let number of cakes eaten by Troy=t
Now:
m=3
Since m+t=9
3+t=9
t=9-3=6
The Number of Pieces of Cake Left in Total=x-(t+m)
Since Troy had 
of the total cake
x=6X4=24
(a)There are 24 cakes in total
(b)The Number of Pieces of Cake Left in Total=x-(t+m)=24-9=15 cakes
