No, 1/a^b (a^-b) doesn't equal -a^b
9:60 is one hours
it takes 15 mins to get to 60
47-15=32
9:45+47=9:45+15:32=10:00+32=10:32 AM
Given:
y is proportional to x.
y=10 and x=8.
To find:
The constant of proportionality and the equation for the proportional relationship.
Solution:
y is proportional to x.

...(i)
Where, k is the constant of proportionality.
Putting y=10 and x=8, we get



Putting
in (i), we get

Therefore, the contestant of proportionality is
and the equation for the proportional relationship is
.
