Question

The hotdog stand at a baseball game sells hotdogs for $3.50 each. The amount, D dollars, Mr. Moore paid for the hotdogs is directly proportional to the number of hotdogs, H, he buys. Identify the constant of proportionality and write a direc

Answer 1

Answer:

D α H

k = D/H

k = 3.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount paid, D is directly proportional to the number of hotdogs, H

D = $3.50 per hot dog

D = $3.50 is directly proportional to 1 hotdog

Hence,

D α H

D = kH

k = proportionality constant

H = 1

3.50 = k

k = 3.50

k = D/H
