Well, you are trying to simplify the numbers and the equation. You are trying to get the smallest possible number or solution. A difference between the two is that polynomials have factors and variables. Numbers are just numbers. With a polynomial, you have to combine like terms and try to reduce the length of the equation. You may not always fully solve a polynomial. With numbers, you probably will get an exact numeral answer.
You have to make a proportion with a part whole and percent the whole is the money amount the part is the amount of people the percent is well the percent<span />
A)
The formula for direct variation is written as Y = KX, where k is the direct variation you need to solve for.
Y is the total amount raised and X would be the number of attendees:
100 = K5
Divide both sides by 5:
K = 100/5
K = 20
B. The constant of variation is K which is 20
C) Using the formula from A: y = kx, replace k with 20 and x with 60 and solve for y:
y = 20 * 60
y = 1200
The total is: $1,200
2. A relationship is proportional when the ratio is a constant number.The relationship is non proportional when the ratio varies between the different values.
B I think could be wrong sorry
Area of the rectangle = L X W
Area of the rectangle = 4 X 2
Area of the rectangle = 8 inches
If the drawing is 1/5 of the actual air conditioning unit, then you multiply the reciprocal which is 5 times the area of the drawing. When you want to enlarge it has to be a whole number. When you want to reduce you multiply by a fraction.
So 8 inches X 5 = 40 inches is the actual area of the unit.
