At the Custard Creamery, the cost of ice cream custard is directly proportional to its weight in ounces. Complete the equation of the graph with its constant of proportionality?
Whats the answer i need helpp
Let's assume the equation of the graph is y = kx, where y is the cost of ice cream custard and x is its weight in ounces.
Since the cost of ice cream custard is directly proportional to its weight, we can write:
y = kx
To find the constant of proportionality (k), we need more information. Do you have any additional data or values that we can use?
Are u sure?
Yes, I'm sure. In a direct proportion, the equation linking the variables is of the form y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality. Without any additional information, we cannot determine the value of k. If you have any specific data or values, we can use them to find the constant of proportionality.
Youre wrong
I apologize if my previous response was not clear. Without any specific data or values, it is not possible to determine the constant of proportionality (k) in this scenario. However, if you have specific information or data related to the cost and weight of the ice cream custard, please provide it so that we can calculate the constant of proportionality accurately.
To complete the equation of the graph, we need to find the constant of proportionality, which relates the cost of ice cream custard to its weight in ounces.
Let's denote the weight of the ice cream custard in ounces as "w" and the cost of the ice cream custard in dollars as "c." According to the given information, the cost of the ice cream custard is directly proportional to its weight in ounces. This implies that there is a constant of proportionality, denoted by "k," such that:
c = k * w
To find the constant of proportionality, you would need at least one data point that provides both the weight of the ice cream custard and its corresponding cost. If you have such data, substitute the values of "c" and "w" into the equation above to solve for "k". Once you have the constant of proportionality, you can complete the equation and use it to find the cost of ice cream custard for any given weight.
