Paula knits hats. The number of hats h she can knit varies directly with the amount of yarn (y) in yards she has. The constant of proportionality is 42.
Write an equation to represent the relationship between the number of yards of yarn Paula has and the number of hats she can knit.
clearly you need to review this topic.
h = 42y
There are only three parts to this formula, and they gave you all three values ...
thanks can you answer the rest of the question ?
What does the constant of proportionality, 42, represent in this problem?
Complete the table showing the yards of yarn and the number of hats Paula can knit.
What are the answers?
To write an equation representing the relationship between the number of yards of yarn Paula has (y) and the number of hats she can knit (h), we know that the two quantities vary directly. This means that there is a constant ratio between them.
The constant of proportionality is given as 42, meaning that for every 42 yards of yarn, Paula can knit one hat.
Therefore, the equation to represent this relationship is:
h = 42y
In this equation, h represents the number of hats Paula can knit, and y represents the number of yards of yarn she has.
