Answer:

y/x = 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

y ∝ x

change ∝ to = by adding constant k or c

y = kx

Divide both sides by x

y/x = k, also k = y/x

Input the values

k = (7 1/2)/3.  Change 7 1/2 to improper fraction to give 15/2

k = (15/2)/3

k = \frac{15}{2} ÷ 3  

Change the division sign to multiplication which will change 3 to its inverse(1/3)

k = \frac{15}{2} × \frac{1}{3}

k = \frac{15}{6}

Divide the numerator and denominator by 3 to get 5/2

k = 5/2

From y/x = k,input k into the eqn

y/x = 5/2

y/x = 2.5

What is the FDP of 0.3
exis [7]

Answer:

  0.3 = 3/10 = 30%

Step-by-step explanation:

The reading of the number as "three tenths" tells you how to write the fraction:

  0.3 = 3/10

You can also express the same value in hundredths. Of course /100 is just a long way to write %, so ...

  0.3 = 0.30 = 30/100 = 30%

0.3 = 3/10 = 30%
