Question:
The quantities x and y are proportional.
x y
5.8 7.5
11.2
Find the constant of proportionality (r) in the equation y=rx
Answer:
The constant of proportionality is 75/58 or 1.29
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The table above
Required
Find the constant of proportionality
The question has an incomplete table but it can still be solved because x and y are proportional.
Given that
y = rx
Make r the subject of formula
Divide through by x
y/x = rx
y/x = r
r = y/x
When y = 7.5, x = 5.8
Substitute these values
r = y/x becomes
r = 7.5/5.8
Multiply denominator and numerator by 10
r = (7.5 * 10)/(5.8 * 10)
r = 75/58
In this case, it's best to leave the answer in fraction.
However, it can be solved further.
r = 75/58
r = 1.29 (Approximated)
Hence, the constant of proportionality is 75/58 or 1.29
Answer:
Natalia's work is wrong.
Step-by-step explanation:
Natalia divided a decimal number by an entire number. Since division is a operation derived from multiplication, the best approach to check if work was good is multiplying the given result by denomination, that is:
1)
Given.
2)
Definition of addition.
3)
Distributive property.
4)
Definitions of multiplication and decimal number.
5)
Definition of division/Associative property.
6)
Associative property.
7)
Definition of multiplication.
8)
Definition of divsion.
9)
Defintion of decimal number.
10)
Definition of addition/Result
Natalia's work is wrong.
$2.25x+$3.50=$35
so, $35-$3.50=$31.50
Then you divide $31.50 by $2.25
That equals 14
So, x=14
Answer:
(A)

(B)
Then the cumulative function would be
if 0<x<1
0 otherwise.
Step-by-step explanation:
(A)
We are looking for the probability that the random variable X is greater than 0.8.

(B)
For any
you are looking for the probability
which is

Then the cumulative function would be
if 0<x<1
0 otherwise.
