3
one-third
one-fourth

Answer 1

@Brostep0s @bears55

Answer 2

@Brostep0s @shinalcantara

Answer 3

so then i think it would be 1/4 right?

Answer 4

ok, thanks!

Answer 5

since it's eggs to female then
4/1 = 4

Answer 6

so then the answer would be 4?

Answer 7

always take note on which comes first in the statement

Answer 8

ok

Answer 9

@shinalcantara is that right?

Answer 10

@shinalcantara?

Answer 11

so the answer is either 1/4 or 4. which one?

Answer 12

@Brostep0s what do you think?

Answer 13

lemme recheck first.

Answer 14

I would think that since it says that one chicken lays four eggs, that it would be compared as a whole, whereas 4:1 would be the ratio.

Answer 15

It doesn't give any certain amount of chickens, so there is not any simplifying to do.

Answer 16

but that's not in the answer choices. the answers are:
4
3
one-third
one-fourth

Answer 17

i think the ratio is 1:4 but i dont know what the constant of proportionality is

Answer 18

for direct proportion
since it's eggs to females, then the independent variable x is the female and y which is the eggs is the dependent variable
y = kx
4 = k (1)
k = 4

Answer 19

its just 4 @77777jeannie77777

Answer 20

oh ok thanks! can you guys help me with one more?

Answer 21

that's what 4:1 means, it comes in different forms, "4:1, 4/1, 4, 4.0, Etc."

Answer 22

& yes

Answer 23

The graph shows the amount of money paid when purchasing bags of caramel corn at the zoo:
What is the constant of proportionality?

3
one-third
2
one-half

Answer 24

i think i have a 50/50 chance because i think its either 3 or 2

Answer 25

its 3

Answer 26

ok, can you help with one more?

Answer 27

the constant of proportionality is just the slope of the line.. y/x = 3/1 = 3

Answer 28

The graph shows the amount of money paid when purchasing bags of peanuts at the zoo:
Write an equation to represent the relationship between the total cost (y) and the number of bags of peanuts (x).

y = 4x
y = one-fourth x
y = 3x
y = one-third x

Answer 29

yes, Slope, or "rate of change" can be found by, in this case, being compared to \[Rise/Run\]

Answer 30

y=4x

Answer 31

thanks! one more pls

Answer 32

last one :D

Answer 33

Ellen bought gifts for her friends, and each gift cost $7. Let y represent the total cost and x represent the number of gifts. Write an equation to represent the proportional relationship between the total cost and the number of gifts she bought.

y = 7x
y = one-seventh x
y = 6x
y = one-sixth x

Answer 34

y = 7x right?

Answer 35

y=7x. It's a simple plug-in: match-up formula.
