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>

Depending on the way you look at the numbers, they are increasing/decreasing by 0.1.
0.36- 0.1 =0.26
0.26-0.1=0.16
0.16-0.1=0.06
0.06-0.1=-0.04
-0.04-0.1=-0.14
(Or vice versa by adding 0.1 starting with -0.14)

Find the mean,median,range of 6 6,8,5,4,6,4,3,8,4
SVEN [57.7K]
The numbers in order are
3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 6, 8
The median is the number in the middle, which is 5.
The range is the largest number minus the smallest number, 8 - 3 = 5
The mean is the sum of all the numbers divided by how many number are the in the list, 3 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 8 = 46, 46/9 = 5.11
