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

Answer:

y= 4x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

To write your equation, solve for the slope.

(y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

Find two coordinate points from the table.

(0,3) (1,7)

(7-3)/ (1-0)= 4

m=4

Use point-slope equation to find your equation.

(y-y1)=m(x-x1)

(y-3)=4(x-0)

y-3= 4x

y= 4x+3

Combine like terms and simplify 4r - 6 - 2r + 5
murzikaleks [220]
C. 10r-3


Because 2r+5=7, the minus 6 and 7 which gives you 1 then minus 4 and 1 witch is 3 then you do 10r-3 and it will get you to 2r+5=7 again. I hope this helped!

Write an equation of the line using the given information:
grigory [225]
Y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = 2/5
(6,2)....x1 = 6 and y1 = 2
now we sub
y - 2 = 2/5(x - 6)

Jacob is cutting yarn for a craft project. He needs pieces of yarn that are 12 inches long, but he only has a ruler marked with
lara [203]

Answer:

30.48 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

2.54 cm = 1 inch

To find how many centimeters are in 12 inches, you should:

2.54 x 12 = 30.48

So Jacob’s pieces of yarn should be 30.48 centimeters long.

Hope this helps!
