The y- axis goes up and down.
and......
The x- axis goes from left right.
Answer:
0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation representing direct proportion is
y = kx ← k is the constant of proportionality
s = 0.75u ← is in this form
with k = 0.75
Answer:
16/y = x
Step-by-step explanation:
You cannot solve for the question yet. However, you can create an equation!
we know that each person paid 16 dollars.
We don’t know how much the bill was or how many people were there.
So out equation looks like;
z/y = x
or
z * x = y
z = how much each person paid.
y = how much each person paid.
x = how many people paid.
Substitute with what we know.
16/y = x
16 * x = y
Now you will be able to substitute for either x or y to find either answer.
Answer:
<em>2/3 of the jar was filled with flour</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.
<em>A jar can hold 3/4 of a pound of flour. Austin empties 1/2 of a pound of flour into the jar. What fraction of the jar is filled? Enter your answer in numerical form.</em>
<em />
Given
<em>Amount a jar can hold a = 3/4 of a pound of flour</em>
<em />
<em>If Austin empties 1/2 of a pound of flour into the jar, then the amount emptied into the jar b = 1/2 pounds</em>
<em />
<em>Fraction of jar filled will be expressed as b/a as shown;</em>
<em>b/a = (1/2)/(3/4)</em>
<em>b/a = 1/2 ÷ 3/4</em>
<em>b/a = 1/2 * 4/3</em>
<em>b/a = 4/6</em>
<em>Simplify to the lowest term</em>
<em>a/b = 2*2/2*3</em>
<em>a/b = 2/3</em>
<em />
<em>Hence 2/3 of the jar was filled with flour</em>
