As it says he keeps 'pairs' of shoes so the answer has to be an even 'number' - ie B, C and E are all possible answers.
We are given the expression:
U = E * P
The equality symbol “ = “ means that for all cases, the
value of U and E * P must always be equal. This means that whatever happens on
the left side, must equally happen on the right side.
So what this actually means is that, if we double U so we
must also double the expression E * P, that is:
2 U = 2 (E * P)
However since P stays constant in the process, therefore
only E is changed, hence:
2 U = P * 2 E
So we can see that E is also doubled.
Answer:
k = 4, y = 4x
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we get the ratio of :
x : y = 1 : 4
Two variables are proportional to each other if their ration is constant. The constant value is denoted by 'k' and is called as constant of proportionality.
In the question, the two variables are :
x = glasses of lemonade
y = lemons used
From the question, the ratio of y is to x is given by :
y : x is 24 : 6 = 4 : 1 or 24/6 = 4
32 : 8 = 4 : 1 or 32/8 = 4
28 : 7 = 4 : 1 or 28/7 = 4
8 : 2 = 4 : 1 or 8/2 = 4
16 : 4 = 4 : 1 or 16/4 = 4
So here the constant is 4 . Therefore, the constant of proportionality, k is 4.
So we can write the equation as :
y = kx
or y = 4x
