Answer:

[tex]w = 6b[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]b = blood[/tex]

[tex]w = weight[/tex]

[tex]b = 20; when\ w = 120[/tex]

Required

Determine the equation that binds both parameters

First, we need to determine the constant of proportionality using:

[tex]w = k * b[/tex]

Where k represents the constant.

Substitute 120 for w and 20 for b

[tex]120 = k * 20[/tex]

Divide both sides by 20

[tex]6 = k[/tex]

[tex]k = 6[/tex]

Using the same formula, substitute 6 for k

[tex]w = 6 * b[/tex]

[tex]w = 6b[/tex]

Hence:

The equation is represented as [tex]w = 6b[/tex]
