This question involves direct proportion which has the formula (y=kx) where y and x are the values which are proportional and k is the constant of proportionality.
The constant of proportionality is basically the value that stays the same even if the x and y values change.
In this case, the constant of proportionality would be 3/7.
Answer:
The capacity of smaller cooler = 7.5 gallons
The capacity of bigger cooler = 37.5 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Let smaller cooler's capacity be x gallons
Hence
Larger cooler's capacity will be 5x gallons
Together, they will hold 45 gallons, thus we can write:
x + 5x = 45
Solving:
x + 5x = 45
6x = 45
x = 45/6 = 7.5
And 5x = 5(7.5) = 37.5
The capacity of smaller cooler = 7.5 gallons
The capacity of bigger cooler = 37.5 gallons
Answer:
2y - 15
Step-by-step explanation:
well 15 LESS than TWICE a number. okay so let’s start off by making a variable for the unknown number.... y. the variable is y. so now we have to think, TWICE that number, but we don’t know the number.
Now that we have the variable and we know it has to be doubled, let’s start off making the first half... we can out that into 2y. which is 2 multiplied by the unknown number.
now that we have the first half done, we have to take the 15 less. Less can mean or subtract in this kind of situation. but for this certain scenario, it will be subtraction. so the equation would be 2y - 15.
You would need to find the circumference(using the formula c=3.14r^2) of the tree which is 113.04 then you would have to divide it by 6 which is 18.84 which would round up to 19
