48 is 80% of 60

48 of 60 can be written as 48/60

Multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 100
48/60 · 100/100 = 80/100 = .8 = 80%

If you are using a calculator, simply enter 48 ÷ 60 · 100 which will give you 80 as the answer.

What is the constant of variation,k, of the direct variation,y=kx,through (5,8)

grigory [225]

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a direct variation if it can be expressed in the form $\frac{y}{x}=k$ or $y=kx$

where

k is the constant of variation

in this problem we have

the point $(5,8)$

so

$x=5\\y=8$

substitute

$\frac{y}{x}=k$

$\frac{8}{5}=k$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

$k=\frac{8}{5}$
