Answer:
Proportional relationships are relationships between two variables where their ratios are equivalent.
Another way to think about them is that, in a proportional relationship, one variable is always a constant value times the other. That constant is know as the "constant of proportionality".
I really recommend watching Khan Academy's video over proportional relationships, the speaker explains it very well!!
Answer:
y = 1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
direct variation
y =kx
substitute in what we know to find k
1/2 = k*3
solve for k
divide by 3
1/2 /3 = k
1/6 = k
substitute k into the direct variation equation
y = 1/6 x
let x = 1
y = 1/6 *1
y = 1/6
We know that
1 cubic yards equals to--------------> 27 <span>cubic feet
then
</span><span>I apply a rule of three
if </span>1 cubic yards ------------------- 27 ft³
X----------------------------------> 648 ft³
X=648/27=24 cubic yards
the answer is 24 cubic yards
