Answer:

We conclude that there is NOT a proportional relationship between the distance the blimp travels and the time it travels.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know if y varies directly with x, we get the equation

y ∝ x

y = kx

k = y/x

where k is called the constant of variation.

In our case we are given:

A blimp travels 255 feet in 1/2 minute

  • A blimp travels 255 feet in 1/2minute.

here:

y = 255, and x = 1/2 = 0.5

so substituting y = 255 and x = 0.5 in the equation

k = y/x

k = 255 / 0.5

k = 510

A blimp travels 510 feet in 1/6 minute

here:

y = 510 , and x = 1/6

so substituting y = 510 and x = 1/6 in the equation

k = y/x

k = [510] / [1/6]

k = 3060

A blimp travels 3,060 feet in 1 minute

here

y = 3,060, and x = 1

so substituting y = 3,060 and x = 1 in the equation

k = y/x

k = 3,060 / 1

k = 3060

<u>HERE IS THE VARIATION OF THE CONSTANT OF VARIATION:</u>

A blimp travels 255 feet in 1/2 minute

k = 510

A blimp travels 255 feet in 1/2 minute

k = 3060

A blimp travels 3,060 feet in 1 minute

k = 3060

It is clear that the constant of variation does not remain constant.

Therefore, we conclude that there is NOT a proportional relationship between the distance the blimp travels and the time it travels.

If 4 bags of corn can feed a herd of cows for 6 days, how many bags will feed the herd for 9 days ?
VARVARA [1.3K]
Well, if 6/4 equals 1.5 --

Then 1.5*5, (which is the next quantity of days before it hits 9) equals 7.5.

Hope this helps.

If y varies directly as x and y = 24 when<br> x= 16, what is y when x = 50? PLEASE ANSWER ASAP!!!!
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

y = 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y\ \alpha\ \ x

y=24; x =16

Required

Find y when x = 50

We have:

y\ \alpha\ \ x

Express as equation

y = kx

Solve for k

k = \frac{y}{x}

When y=24; x =16

k = \frac{24}{16}

k = \frac{3}{2}

When x = 50, we have:

y = kx

y = \frac{3}{2} * 50

y = 75
