Find the constant proportionality for the ratio 2/5

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

constant of proportionality is (2)/(5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The direct proportionality says that:

y \propto x

then the equation is in the form of:

y = kx .......[1]

where, k is the constant of proportionality.

As per the statement:

Given the ratio 2/5

i.e,

(y)/(x) = (2)/(5)

then using [1] we have;

(y)/(x)=k

(2)/(5) = k

or

k= (2)/(5)

Therefore, the constant of proportionality for the ratio of 2/5 is; (2)/(5)

Answer 2
Answer:

The "constant of proportionality" is the value that relates the two amountsExample: you are paid $20 an hour (continued)The constant of proportionality is 20 because:Earnings = 20 × Hours worked

This can be written:  y = kx

Where k is the constant of proportionality

a goblet contains 3 red balls, 2 green balls, and 5 blue balls. if we choose a ball, then another ball without putting the first one back in the goblet, what is the probability that the first ball will be red and the second will be blue? 3/20

Answers

Answer: (1)/(6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The chance of the first ball being red is  (3)/(10).

The chance for the second ball being blue is  (5)/(9), as the red ball is not added back in. To find the chance of both of these happening, you multiply them together.

(3)/(10) · (5)/(9) = (15)/(90) which simplifies to (1)/(6).

1/2 because 14/28 simplifys down to 1/2 enjoy!=)
well 7 goes into both of those numbers so 14 divided by 7 is 2 and 28 divided by 7 is 4 so the answer is 2/4 which equals 1/2 so its A.
