i need this asap
its for the Complying with Title IX Quiz in connexus math
was good this is weird because i would know the answer but i don't but i know you need the hole assessment answers but i dk
geeshh, "Much Ado About Nothing" with apologies to William
isn't 6/8 = 3/4
and 15/20 = 3/4 ???
cmon guys i need help
thx
To find the constant of proportionality, we need to determine the ratio of the number of girls in the middle school jazz band to the number of girls in the high school jazz band.
First, let's define the variables:
Let "x" represent the number of girls in the middle school jazz band.
Let "y" represent the number of girls in the high school jazz band.
From the given information:
Middle School: Number of Girls (x) = 6
High School: Number of Girls (y) = 8
The relationship states that the number of girls in the middle school and high school jazz bands is proportional. This means that the ratio of the number of girls in the middle school band to the number of girls in the high school band should remain constant.
Thus, we have the following ratio:
x/y = 6/8
To find the constant of proportionality, we need to simplify this ratio. We can simplify it further by dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
(x/y)÷2 = (6/8)÷2
x/2y = 3/4
Now, since the ratio remains constant, we can find the constant of proportionality by cross-multiplying and simplifying the equation:
4x = 3(2y)
4x = 6y
Comparing the equation above, we can see that the constant of proportionality is 6.
