Hi Jessicaprado539!
The constant proportionality of this equation would be the value that relates the two amounts. In this case, that would be 2/3
Answer:
The width of the building is 50 lamps and 60 lamps will be needed.
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is computed by the sum of the sides of the building, since the length and width are equal on the oposite sides of the building, the perimeter is given by:
perimeter = 2*length + 2*width
900 = 2*(400) + 2*width
2*width + 800 = 900
2*width = 900 - 800
2*width = 100
width = 100/2 = 50 feets
To know how many lights bulbs will be needed we need to take the perimeter of the building and divide it by the space between the lamps. We have:
number o lamps = 900/15 = 60 lamps
