You can set both fractions to have the same denominator by multiplying 6/8 (both the 6 and 8) by 2 to keep the value of the fraction, while turning the denominator to 16. So you get 12/16=y/16.
That means for the equation to be true y has to be 12.
Hope this helps!
Change 5/3 to 15/9. Then add 15 + 17 and put it over 9. 32/9
Answer:
7/3 is constant of proportionality and, 3/7 of a cup of red paint should be added to 1 cup of white paint.
Step-by-step explanation:
Constant of proportionality is the constant value of the ratio of two proportional quantities x and y; usually written y = kx, where k is the factor of proportionality.
To make color pink,
for every 3 cups of red , we need 7 cups of white.
Let 'r' be the cups of red required
let 'w' be the cups of white required
so , as per the question
for 3 r we need = 7 w
r = 7/3 w
so, 7/3 is constant of proportionality and, 3/7 of a cup of red paint should be added to 1 cup of white paint.
You already have the answer! ;)
