The answer is "No", the cost of water is not proportional to the number of sold.
The ratio notion is used in mathematics when evaluating two or more numbers. It works as a comparison tool to demonstrate how big or small a particular number is. A ratio divides two quantities to compare them.
As per the given information in the question,
The cost of 6 bottles of water is $4.
Then, the price of each bottle will be,
= $4/6 = $0.66
The next condition is,
The cost of 18 bottles of water is $10
Then, the price of each bottle will be,
= $10/18 = $0.55
Comparing both the values, the ratio is not the same.

The Problem:
What is 36 minutes as a fraction of an hour?
The Process:
This time we will complete how to express minutes as a fraction of an hour.
We already know that one hour is 60 minutes, or there are 60 minutes in an hour.
Or it can also be written as follows:
To express the number of minutes as a fraction of an hour, we place the number of minutes above 60 and simplify. In other words, we divide the number of minutes by 60.
Divide both 36 and 60 by 12, since HCF (highest common factor) is 12.
Thus, 36 minutes isof an hour.
Keywords: what is 36 minutes, as a fraction of an hour, divide, 60 minutes, simplify, HCF, highest common factor
The fraction of an hour's that makes up the 36 minutes portion would be = 3/5
To determine the fraction of the given minutes for an hour, the following steps needs to be taken as follows.
The number of minutes that makes an hour's = 60minutes
The number of minutes given = 36
Therefore the fraction = 36/60 = 3/5

the amount of watermelon consumed was greater than 8 1/2 pounds.
To determine if the amount of watermelon consumed was less than or greater than 8 1/2 pounds, we need to find the total weight of the watermelons Mr. Hoya brought and then subtract the total amount consumed by the 153 people.
1. Find the total weight of the watermelons:
Total weight = 8 1/4 + 9 1/4 + 8 7/8 + 9 5/8 + 10 3/4
2. Convert all the fractions to a common denominator:
Total weight = (33/4) + (37/4) + (35/4) + (39/4) + (43/4)
3. Add the fractions:
Total weight = (33 + 37 + 35 + 39 + 43) / 4
4. Find the sum:
Total weight = 187 / 4
Now, we'll find the total amount consumed by 153 people:
Total amount consumed = 153 * 1/4
Now, we can compare the total amount consumed to 8 1/2 pounds:
8 1/2 = 17/2 = 34/4
Now, let's compare the values:
Total amount consumed = 153 * 1/4 = 153/4 ≈ 38.25
8 1/2 pounds = 34/4 = 8.5
The total amount consumed (38.25) is greater than 8 1/2 pounds (8.5). Therefore, the amount of watermelon consumed was greater than 8 1/2 pounds.
