Answer:

<h2>This constant of proportionality represents the lost fee, which is the relation between both variables.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

  • The lost fee is 75% of the cost of the book.
  • Sarah owes $60 to the school for the lost book.

Let's call c the cost of the book and f the lost feet. All this can be expressed as

f=0.75c

This expression indicates that the lost fee is 75% of the cost of the book.

Notice that this is a linear equation, where f and c are directly proportional and the constant of proportionality is 0.75, which is 75%.

This constant of proportionality represents the lost fee, which is the relation between both variables.

Now, replacing values we can find the cost of the book

60=0.75c\\c=\frac{60}{0.75}\\ c=80

The book costs $80.

Answer: 0.75,

The constant of proportionality is the ratio between two directly proportional quantities.

The cost of book changes but the lost book fee charge remains constantper book i.e.0.75


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Let x be the cost of her book (in dollars).

Since, her school charges a lost book fee equal to 75% of the cost of the book.

Then, the the lost book fee=75% of x

Since 75% =0.75

Thus, the the lost book fee=$0.75x

The cost of book changes but the lost book fee charge remains constant per book i.e.0.75

Sarah received a notice stating that she owed the school $60 for he lost book.

The the lost book fee=0.75(60)=$45

Um can some one pls explain this​
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

the answer is c) 182.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The information provided gives you a scale that will ultimately allow you to determine the height of the larger cylinder.

Since it tells us the two are similar, we can use the scale to solve for the second height.

Set up your math like this:

\frac{16}{h}=\frac{64}{729}

h represents the height you are trying to find.

using a common multiple, you can solve for h.

16 times 4 is 64. so 729 divided by 4 is 182.25

What is the area of the figure below?
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

The area of the figure is 7.5 m².

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the lengths of diagonals

  • 2.5 m
  • 6 m

The area of the given figure can be computed by multiply the lengths of the diagonals and then divide by 2.

so

Area = (2.5 × 6 ) ÷ 2

        = 15 ÷ 2

        = 7.5 m²

Therefore, the area of the figure is 7.5 m².
