Answer:
y/x
Step-by-step explanation:
If x is proportional to y, then:
y = kx, where k is a constant
This can be rearranged to give:
k = y/x
As mentioned, k is a constant, therefore, the answer is y/x
Your question is very confusing but x=8 so just plug in 8 where you see X
Answer: There is 162 ml of first brand and 108 ml of second brand.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Percentage of vinegar that the first brand contains = 7%
Percentage of vinegar that the second brand contains = 12%
Percentage of vinegar in mixture = 9%
Total amount of dressing = 270 ml
We will use "Mixture and Allegation":
First brand Second brand
7% 12%
9%
--------------------------------------------------------
12%-9% : 9%-7%
3% : 2%
So, ratio of first brand to second brand in a mixture is 3:2.
So, Amount of first brand she should use is given by

Amount of second brand she should use is given by

Hence, there is 162 ml of first brand and 108 ml of second brand.

The best way to compare fractions is to find the LCM (The Lowest Common Denominator) of each of the fractions. This can be done simply by listing the multiples of the denominators.
Multiples:
3: 3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27...210,213
10:10,20,30,40,60,70,80...210,220
6: 6,12,18,24,30,36,42,48...210,216
7: 7,14,21,28,35,42,49...210,217
The LCM is 210:
3*70=210
10*21=210
6*35=210
7*30=210
Now, we must do what we do the denominators to the numerators:
1*70=70
70/210
2*21=42
42/210
1*35=35
=35/210
2*30=60
=60/210
The fraction with the largest numerator has the greatest value; In this case it 1/3 or 70/210.
Hope this helps.
