The proportionality constant "k" is 1.88

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that y varies directly with x

y = 15 when x = 8

To find: proportionality constant "k"

Direct variation means that increase/decrease in one quantity also causes increase/decrease in other quantity.

⇒ y varies directly with x

This means,

y \propto x

Can also be written as:

y = kx

Where "k" is the proportionality constant

Substituting the given values of "x" and "y"

15 = k(8)

k = \frac{15}{8}

k = 1.875

On rounding to nearest hundredths place we get 1.88

Thus the proportionality constant is 1.88

Lin took 75 boxes of carrots and 80 boxes of potatoes to the market. She sold 68 boxes of carrots and 71 boxes of potatoes. How
Vesna [10]

Answer:

There are 16 boxes left in total

Step-by-step explanation:

First we add the amount of boxes at the beginning: 75 + 80 = 155

Then, we add the amount of boxes that were sold: 68 + 71 = 139

Then, we subtract the total amount of boxes sold from the total amount of boxes at the beginning: 155 - 139 = 16

The diagram shows that FG = IJ are congruent segments due to the double tickmarks. These are the hypotenuses of the right triangles.

So that takes care of the "H" in "HL".

The L stands for "leg", so we need to have a congruent pair of corresponding legs.

Due to the orientation of the triangles, it's not clear how the corresponding legs match up, but if any of the following is true

  • EF = IK
  • EF = JK
  • EG = IK
  • EG = JK

then we'd have enough to use HL.

if she can go 6.7 miles in an hour, then the way we find out how much she does in 3/4 of an hour is divide 6.7 by 4. 6.7/4=1.67 and then, to get 3/4, we multiply 1.67 by 3.
