a. The table represents a proportional relationship

b. The constant of proportionality is 5/6

<h3 /><h3 /><h3>Proportional relationship:</h3>

Proportional relationship are relationship between variable where their ratios are equivalent. The variables in our case are total weight(pounds) and number of books.

Therefore, let's check if the table represent a proportional relationship.

let

total weight = x

number of book = y

k = constant of proportionality

y = kx

10 = k12

k = 10 / 12 = 5 / 6

y = kx

15 = 18k

k = 15 / 18

k = 5 / 6

y = kx

25 = 30k

k = 25 / 30

k = 5 / 6

y = kx

50 = k60

k = 50/60 = 5 / 6

The constant of proportionality is the same. Therefore, the table represents a proportional relationship

The constant of proportionality(k) is 5/6.

The restaurant in the Space Needle in Seattle rotates at the rate of one revolution per hour. (Round your answers to two decimal

Natalija [7]

A) 130 mins = 2 hours 10 mins or 2 and 1/6 hours... so 2 and 1/6 revolution. and 1 revolution is equal to 2*pi radians
ANSWER: 13/6 (2 and 1/6) * 2*pi = 13.6 radians 

b) 8/13.6 = x/(13/6) so x = 0.2715 hours or 16 and 1/3 minutes 

c) if the restaurant is 21 meters, the radius is 10.5 meters, and the circumference is 2*pi*r so circumference = 65.97 meters. 

2 and 1/6 revolution is going around the circumference 2 and 1/6 times, so simply multiply 65.97 by 13/6 

ANSWER: about 143 meters

Eight students ran a 180-meter course during their physical education class. The chart shows the time it took each student to co

lakkis [162]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of student 1 = 180/30= 6 m/sec

speed of student 2= 180/32= 5.62 m/sec

speed of student 3= 180/33= 5.45 m/sec

speed of student 4= 180/35= 5.14 m/sec

speed of student 5= 180/37= 4.86 m/sec

speed of student 6= 180/38= 4.73 m/sec

speed of student 7= 180/40= 4.5 m/sec

speed of student 8= 180/32= 4 m/sec

average speed is = (6+5.62+5.45+5.14+4.86+4.73+4.5+4)/8

hence, average speed is= 5.04

hence, the average speed of student 1 = 6m/sec

how much faster is average speed of student 1 than average speed= 6- 5.04 = 0.96

hence, average speed of student 1 is 0.96 m/sec more thanthe average speed.

Find the midpoint of the segment with the following endpoints. (8,4) and (2,7)

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the midpoint formula: $\frac{ChangeInX}{2} ,\frac{ChangeInY}{2}$

So, the Change In X is 2-8 = -6

And the Change in Y is 7-4 = 3

Once you divide both of the changes by 2, you get

X: -3

Y: $\frac{3}{2}$

So the midpoint is: $(-3,\frac{3}{2})$

12 is 8% of what number?

jeka57 [31]

We can also say this in another way ... (8% of what number is 12?)
let a be the number of which 8 % is 12 ....
8/100 x a =12 
a=12 x 100/8 
a=(6/4) x 100 
a=(3/2) X 100
a = 150 

now if u want to check your answer.. substitute the value of a .....
(8/100) x 150=12 ....

Hope it helps !!!
