Answer:

Option C: 2 books for $14, 5 books for $35

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportional relationship between two quantities would always have a constant of proportionality. Thus,

Constant of proportionality, k = y/x

In this case,

x = quantity of books

y = price

Let's see which pair will have a constant of proportionality:

Option A: 4 books for $24,8 books for $40

24/4 = 6;

40/8 = 5.

No constant of proportionality.

Option B: 5 books for $25, 6 books for $36

25/5 = 5

36/6 = 6

No constant of proportionality.

Option C: 2 books for $14, 5 books for $35

14/2 = 7

35/5 = 7

Constant of proportionality, k = 7.

This pair represents a proportional relationship.

Option D: 3 books for $15, 7 books for $28

15/3 = 5

28/7 = 4

No constant of proportionality.

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

11.2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create a triangle from the information given.

We can call the starting point (0,0) in the coordinate system.

10 mi east - 10 miles to the right. then,
5 mi north - 5 miles above

See the attached picture. The direct distance is labeled as x.

Now we need to find x using pythagorean theorem.

Pythagorean Theorem = leg²+leg²=hypotenuse²

Solving for x:

$10^2+5^2=x^2\\100+25=x^2\\125=x^2\\x=\sqrt{125}\\x=11.18$

Rounding to nearest tenth, we have 11.2 miles
