2.5 because if you move x to the other side of the equation you will get y=2.5x, and the constant of proportionality is what x is multiplied by, in this case, it's 2.5.
The best way to randomly choose the 100 families would be to allow a random number generator to come up with 100 families within a 50 radius of the amusement park.
Using this method would ensure that it is more randomised & not limited to people who come at a specific time or are in a specific area as well as it not be affected by subconscious bias of people when selecting people to survey.
7/8 + 4/8= 11/8 so 11/8 ÷2 = 5.5/8 she puts 5 1/2 /8 cups of the mixture in each bowl
Refer to the graph shown below. It confirms that points A, B and P are
collinear.
Calculate the length of AP (as a).
a = √[(6 - 2)² + (11 - 3)²]
= 8.9443
Calculate the length of BP (as b).
b = √[(8 - 6)² + (15 - 11)²]
= 4.4721
Calculate ratio a/b.
a/b = 8.9443/4.4721 = 2
Therefore P partitions AB in a 2:1 ratio so that AP = 2*BP.
Answer: 2:1 ratio.
