Answer:

a. $18.36 for 3 pizzas  :  k  = 6.12

b. $4.17 for 3 pounds of bananas .   k  = 1.39

c. $16.48 for 4 pounds of potatoes .  k  = 4.12

d. 2 cups of flour to make 24 cookie .  k  = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

PROPORTIONALITY:

Two quantities x and y are said to proportional to each other

if for x ∝ y , x = y k.

Here, k is called the PROPORTIONALITY CONSTANT.

⇒x \propto y \implies k = \frac{x}{y}  

Now, for the given quantities:

a.  $18.36 for 3 pizzas [box]    

Here, k = \frac{x}{y} = \frac{18.36}{3}  = 6.12

So, the proportionality constant is 6.12.

b. $4.17 for 3 pounds of bananas [box]

Here, k = \frac{x}{y} = \frac{4.17}{3}  = 1.39

So, the proportionality constant is 1.39.

c. $16.48 for 4 pounds of potatoes [box]

Here, k = \frac{x}{y} = \frac{16.48}{4}  = 4.12

So, the proportionality constant is 4.12.

d. 2 cups of flour to make 24 cookies

Here,  k = \frac{x}{y} = \frac{24}{2}  = 12

So, the proportionality constant is 12.

The sum of two numbers is equal to 63, and their difference is equal to 12. Find the numbers ​
Ainat [17]

Answer:

25.5   and   37.5

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=63

x-y = 12    then   x = 12 + y      sub this into the first equation

(12+y)    + y = 63

12 + 2y = 63

2y = 51

y = 25.5     then x = 37.5

Fernanda and Jose were working on an assignment in their geometry class in which they were to write the equation of the graph be
Alborosie

Answer:

yes they both are wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

Center of the Circle is (h,I) which is (4,-3)

so h= 4 and k = -3

radius is 4 units (3+1)

Equation for circle

(x - h) {}^{2}  + (y - k) {}^{2}  = r {}^{2}

substitute all the values in this equation

(x  - 4) { }^{2}  + (y - ( - 3)) {}^{2}  = 4 {}^{2}  \\ (x - 4) {}^{2}  + (y + 3) {}^{2}  = 16
