Given that C varies directly as N, the value of Calories C when the number of ounces N is increased to the given value is 684 calories.
<h3>What is Proportional relationships?</h3>
Proportional relationships are relationships between two variables where their ratios are equivalent.
Direct variation equation is a linear equation in two variables.
It is expressed as;
a ∝ b then a = kb
Where k is the proportionality constant.
Given the data in the question;
- Calories C = 380 calories
- Number of ounces N = 20 ounces
Since Calories C and Number of ounces N varies directly, we find their proportionality constant.
a ∝ b then a = kb
C = kN
380 calories = k × 20 ounces
k = 380 calories / 20 ounces
k = 19 calories/ounces
Now,we find C when N is 36 ounces.
C = kN
C = 19 calories/ounces × 36 ounces
C = 684 calories
Given that C varies directly as N, the value of Calories C when the number of ounces N is increased to the given value is 684 calories.
