Answer:
Constant of proportionality is 190.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find proportionality constant we will find difference of weights after 2 days and at birth.

Now we will find difference of weights after 14 days and at birth. We will divide the difference by 14.


We can see that weights are increasing at a constant rate of 190 pounds per day. Therefore, our constant of proportionality is 190.
Answer:
The sum of a number, 1/6 of that number, 2 1/2 of that number, and 7 is 12 1/2. Find the number?
the number is 2.409
Step-by-step explanation:
based on the question;
let the number N
1/6 of N = (1/6)N
21/2 of N = ( 5/2)N
now, the sum of a number (N) 1/6 of that number(1/6)N , (5/2)N and 7 will be expressed as
N + ( 1/6)N + (5/2)N + 7 = 12 1/2
N + N/6 + 5N/2 + 7 = 25/2
find the lcm of the equation
we have;
(6N + N +15N + 42)/6= 25/2
(22N + 42)/6 = 25/2
Using cross multiplication we have
44N + 84 = 150
Collecting the like terms
44N = 150- 84
44N = 106
Divide both sides by 44
44N/44= 106/44
N = 2.409
Step-by-step explanation:
A/2 = 4
A = 4 x 2
A = 8
I think this should be the answer
I think the answer is 1.06666666667
