Answer:

C. Yes, 3.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is a relationship of direct proportionality for every ordered pair of the table, then the constant of proportionality must the same for every ordered pair. The constant of proportionality (k) is described by the following expression:

k = \frac{y}{x} (1)

Where:

x - Input.

y - Output.

If we know that (x_{1}, y_{1}) = (13, 45.5), (x_{2}, y_{2}) = (14, 49) and (x_{3}, y_{3}) = (15, 52.5), then the constants of proportionalities of each ordered pair are, respectively:

k_{1} = \frac{y_{1}}{x_{1}}

k_{1} = \frac{45.5}{13}

k_{1} = \frac{7}{2}

k_{2} = \frac{y_2}{x_2}

k_{2} = \frac{49}{14}

k_{2} = \frac{7}{2}

k_{3} = \frac{y_{3}}{x_{3}}

k_{3} = \frac{52.5}{15}

k_{3} = \frac{7}{2}

Since k_{1} = k_{2} = k_{3}, the constant of proportionality is 3.5.

A recipe uses 2 cups of sugar to make 32 brownies. How many cups of sugar are needed to make 72 brownies?
maks197457 [2]
Set up a fraction with 2 cups of sugar (s) at the top and 32 brownies (b) at the bottom. 2s/32b. Now, set up the next fraction with x cups of sugar (because we don't know the amount of sugar) at the top and 72 brownies (b) at the bottom. Set them equal. Your equation should be 2s/32b=x/72b. Cross multiply these values (if you wrote them down; 32x=144) and solve for x.

Rainbow [258]
If someone sends you a link don’t click on it, is a scam that happen to me before.
24p = n
Let n = total of lightbulbs
Let p = number of packages
