The constant of proportionality between the height of the water in a sink (h) in centimeters and the number of minutes it has been filling (m) is 0.95. The sink has been filling for 40 minutes. What is the height of the water in the sink?(this is not multiple choice)
clearly the relationship is
h = 0.95 m
So plug in your number.
time to review direct variation and constant of proportionality.
I'm sure your text has examples, and there's always google.
Read the question again carefully.
What numbers have they given you? What do they want to know? I gave you the formula to find the value of h if you have a value for m.
they have given me 0.95 and 40.they want to know what is the height of water in the sink.
To find the height of the water in the sink, we can use the formula:
h = km
Where:
h is the height of the water in centimeters
m is the number of minutes the sink has been filling
k is the constant of proportionality
Given that the constant of proportionality (k) is 0.95, and the sink has been filling for 40 minutes, we can substitute these values into the formula to find the height of the water:
h = 0.95 * 40
h = 38 centimeters
Therefore, the height of the water in the sink is 38 centimeters.
