k = 3

let distance walked be d and time be t

since distance varies directly with time then

d = kt ← k is the constant of variation

k = \frac{d}{t}

note that 2 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{9}{4}, hence

k = \frac{9}{4} / \frac{3}{4} = 3

The distance depends on the time.

So now we need to find the constant of variation or the constant of proportionality.

To do so we must find y(the dependent variable) and x(the independent variable).

To find the constant(k) we must find y/x

Since y/x=k

Then 2.25/.75=k

k=3

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3x plus 12= 8x -18

subtract twelve on both sides:

3x= 8x- 30

Which do you think will have a greater value, 1/8 of one pound gold or 1/4 of lead? Why?
Ivenika [448]
<span>if you multiply 1/8 by 4, the fraction become 4/32, and if you multiply 1/4 by 8 you get 8/32.Since both fractions have the same denominator, we can find which fraction has the greater value. Since 1/4(8/32) has a greater numerator, the 1 pound of lead will have a larger value.</span>
