Use ratio and proportion:

$29.50 is to 250 ft. as how much is to 40 ft.

29.5 / 250 = x / 40

x = 40(29.5) / 250

x = 1180 / 250

x = 4.72

40 ft. would cost $4.72

Here's how you solve it!

250/2950 = 40/x

x(250/2950) = (40/x)x

250x/2950 = 40

2950(250x/2950) = (40)2950

250x = 118,000

250x/250 = 118,00/250

x = 472

The cost of 40 ft of cable is 472.

Hope this helps! <3

A researcher randomly selects 3 fish from among 8 fish in a tank and puts each of the 3 selected fish into different containers.

Elina [12.6K]

First he can select one fish among 8, after that one among 7 of them and finally one among 6 fish.
8 * 7 * 6 = 336
Then he puts each of selected fish into different containers:
336 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 2,016
Answer: This can be done in 2,016 ways.

Does the table show a direct proportional relationship? If so, what is the constant of proportionality?

lesantik [10]

Answer:

C. Yes, 3.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is a relationship of direct proportionality for every ordered pair of the table, then the constant of proportionality must the same for every ordered pair. The constant of proportionality ( $k$ ) is described by the following expression:

$k = \frac{y}{x}$ (1)

Where:

$x$ - Input.

$y$ - Output.

If we know that $(x_{1}, y_{1}) = (13, 45.5)$ , $(x_{2}, y_{2}) = (14, 49)$ and $(x_{3}, y_{3}) = (15, 52.5)$ , then the constants of proportionalities of each ordered pair are, respectively:
