Answer: No It's not proportional as the constant of proportionality for both of them.are different.
Step-by-step explanation:
For the first part of the question, a 150-pound teenager eats 5.5 pounds of food per day, we've to calculate the constant of proportionality. This will be:
y = kx
150 = 5.5k
k = 27.27
For the second part of the question, a 250-pound panda eats 40 pounds of bamboo a day. we've to calculate the constant of proportionality. This will be:
y = kx
250 = 40k
k = 250/40
k = 6.25
This shows that the 150-pound teenager eats 5.5 pounds of food per day, is not proportional to a 250-pound panda eating 40 pounds of bamboo a day because th e value of k are different.

<h3>How to determine a linear equation describing the daily distance of a runner</h3>
In this question we need to derive an expression of the <em>daily</em> distance as a function of time. Now we proceed to complete the components:
- <em>Linear</em> equations have an <em>independent</em> variable (t - time) and a dependent variable (x - daily distance).
- We notice that the daily distance increases linearly in time, then then we have the following pattern:
t 1 2 3 4 5 6
x 2 2.5 3 3.5 4 4.5 - The equation that represents the n-th term of the sequence is x(n) = 2 + 0.5 · (n - 1).
- The week when Susie will run 10 miles per day is:
10 = 2 + 0.5 · (n - 1)
8 = 0.5 · (n - 1)
n - 1 = 16
n = 17
Susie will run 10 miles per day in the 17th week. - It is not reasonable to think that pattern will continue indefinitely as it is witnessed in the difficulties experimented by <em>fastest</em> runners in the world to increase their <em>peak</em> speeds.
- A marathon has a distance of 26 miles, then we must solve the following equation:
26 = 2 + 0.5 · (n - 1)
24 = 0.5 · (n - 1)
48 = n - 1
n = 49
Susie should start her training 49 weeks before the marathon.

Answer:
And then the percentage between 24 and 40 would be 
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem we have the following parameters given:
And for this case we want to find the percentage of lightbulb replacement requests numbering between 24 and 40.
From the empirical rule we know that we have 68% of the values within one deviation from the mean, 95% of the values within 2 deviations and 99.7% within 3 deviations.
We can find the number of deviations from themean for the limits with the z score formula we got:
And replacing we got:
And then the percentage between 24 and 40 would be
