Answer:

The value of k is 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of k is found by dividing the numerator of the original ratio, 5, by the sum of the numerator and denominator of the ratio

When finding a point, P, to partition a line segment AB into the ratio a/b, we find a ratio c = a / (a + b)

According to this formula we find the value of k.

k = a/(a+b)

where a = 5

b = 3

Now plug the values in the formula:

k = 5/(5+3)

k = 5/8 ....

juin [17]

Answer:

Yes, the price the school pays each year in entrance fees is proportional to the number of students entering the zoo

Step-by-step explanation:

Relationships between two variables is proportional if their ratios are equivalent.

In 2010, the school paid $1,260 for 84 students to enter the zoo.

Ratio of the price the school pays each year in entrance fees to the number of students entering the zoo = 1260:84=15:1

In 2011, the school paid $1,050 for 70 students to enter the zoo.

Ratio of the price the school pays each year in entrance fees to the number of students entering the zoo = 1050:70=15:1

In 2012, the school paid $1,395 for 93 students to enter the zoo.

Ratio of the price the school pays each year in entrance fees to the number of students entering the zoo = 1,395:93=15:1

As 1260:84=1260:84=1,395:93=15:1,

the price the school pays each year in entrance fees is proportional to the number of students entering the zoo.
