Answer to Problem 16HP
The water needed for
Explanation of Solution
Given information: The paper mache paste recipe needs flour for one cup of water is
Calculation:
Two quantities, in which the ratio or rate is constant, are to be said proportional and if the rates are not constant, then the quantities are said to be non-proportional. The constant ratio which is defining whether the two quantities are said to be proportional or not is known as constant of proportionality.
The given unit conversion of cups of Flour to cup of water in fraction is:
The unit conversion for
Now, write the above expression in proportion.
To obtain the value of
The formula for conversion of cups into gallons is:
To find the conversion of
The expression of Proportional relationships having constant of proportionality
in equation form is:
To obtain the constant rate, substitute
Therefore, the water needed for
