Answer:
25× 1/10 = 5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
5/2 or 2.5 lies between 2 and 3
Direct Proportion functions look like this:
y=kx
'k' is the constant of proportionality and in this case its 7.5 or 15/2.
--------------------------------------------
When x=1, y=7.5
When x=2, y=15
When x=3, y=22.5
Therefore y is directly proportional to x.

DIRECT PROPORTION EXPLAINED:
Say a football costs £7.50. If you buy one football you'll have to pay out £7.50, but if you you buy two footballs you'll have to pay out £15.00. Therefore the cost of the football(s) is directly proportional to the amount of footballs you buy. C=cost, f=football(s) and C<span>∝f, therefore C=kf, but as k=7.5, C=7.5f.
INVERSE PROPORTION EXPLAINED:
If it were to take 8 hours for one bricklayer to set up a wall, how long would it take for two bricklayers to set up a wall? The answer in this case would be 4 hours.
T=time to set up a wall
b=bricklayer(s)
Therefore T</span><span>∝1/b, and T=k/b. In this case k=8 so T=8/b.
When b=1, T=8.
When b=2, T=4.
We'd say that the time it would take for bricklayers to set up a wall would be inversely proportional to the amount of bricklayers available.</span>
Answer: 15/32
Step-by-step explanation:
The data that we have is:
5/8 of the vegetable sold where green.
of theses 5/8, 3/4 were string beans.
Then the 3/4 is applied to the 5/8 of green vegetables.
Then the fraction (of the total number of vegetables) that were string beans was:
F = (3/4)*(5/8) = (3*5)/(4*8) = 15/32
If you divide it by 5 on both numbers you get four and three. So 4 is the answer.
