is the constant of proportionality that represents the relationship between the cost, y, to the number of pounds of potatoes, x .
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Here we have , The cost of 2 pounds of potatoes is $3.78. We need to find the constant of proportionality that represents the relationship between the cost, y, to the number of pounds of potatoes, x . Let's find out:
Cost is y & number of pounds of potatoes is x :
, where k is constant of proportionality that represents the relationship between the cost, y, to the number of pounds of potatoes, x .
⇒
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒
Therefore, is the constant of proportionality that represents the relationship between the cost, y, to the number of pounds of potatoes, x .
Here are a few fun facts:
A 19th century horse named 'Old Billy' is said to have lived 62 years.
Horses can sleep both lying down and standing up.
Horses can run shortly after birth.
Horses have around 205 bones in their skeleton.
Horses have been domesticated for over 5000 years.
Horses use their ears, eyes and nostrils to express their mood.
Because horse’s eyes are on the side of their head they are capable of seeing nearly 360 degrees at one time.
The fastest recorded sprinting speed of a horse was 88 kph (55 mph). Most gallop at around 44 kph or 27 mph.
The Przewalski’s horse is the only truly wild horse species still in existence. The only wild population is in Mongolia. There are however numerous populations across the world of feral horses e.g. mustangs in North America.

<span>the line over the 28 means the 28 repeats forever.
1.282828.... and so on
let x be the rational number 1.28...
we can use this trick:
100*1.282828....= 128.282828...
(the decimal 28 part repeats)
100x = 128.28...
next:
100x - x = 128.282828... - 1.282828...
the .282828... part will be subtracted away
99x = 127
divide both sides by 99 to get
x= 127/99</span>
When I multiply it’s is shows 1.53719
