Every female chicken lays 4 eggs. What is the constant of proportionality for the ratio of eggs to female chickens?

1 answer:

8 0

What I've been taught, to find direction proportion:
Ration is eggs to females.
Independent variable, x, is the female
Y, which is the eggs is the dependent variable.
y=kx
4=k(1)
k=4

Melanie's room measures 10 ft by 12 ft. Her rug covers 90 ft². Explain how to determine the percent of floor covered by the rug.

$\huge \bf༆ Answer ༄$

Here's the solution ~

Area of floor is ;

${ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}} \: \: \sf \:10 \times 12$

${ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}} \: \: \sf \:120 \: ft {}^{2}$

Area covered by rug is ;

${ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}} \: \: \sf \:90 \: ft {}^{2}$

So, the percentage of floor covered by rug is ~

${ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}} \: \: \sf \: \dfrac{90}{120} \times 100$

${ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}} \: \: \sf \: \dfrac{3}{4} \times 100$

${ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}} \: \: \sf \:3 \times 25$

${ \qquad{ \sf{ \dashrightarrow}}} \: \: \sf \:75 \%$

Use the table below to answer this question:

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Th average rate of change is the slope of the secant line that goes through those 2 values of x. Of course, each value of x also has a value of y. The coordinates for these combinations of x's and y's are:

(-1, 5) and (4, 0). We can use the slope formula to find the average rate of change of this function without having to know what the function's equation is:

$m=\frac{0-5}{4-(-1)}=\frac{-5}{5}=-1$

So the average rate of change, aka slope, between those 2 points is -1

Lateral erea of cube

jekas [21]

Answer:

4a2

Step-by-step explanation:

For a cube the lateral surface area would be the area of the four sides. If the edge of the cube has length a, the area of one square face Aface = a ⋅ a = a2. Thus the lateral surface of a cube will be the area of four faces: 4a2.
