1-58. Mr. Wright was making a table to figure out how much it costs to send a certain numt
of regular letters through the mail. Use proportional reasoning to complete his table.

Respuesta :

A table of values can be used to represent variables that are directly proportional.

The complete table of proportions is:

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccccccccc}Letters&10&2&[150 ]&7&1&500&[420] \\Cost&0.45&0.90&6.75&[0.315]&[0.045 ]&[22.5 ] & 18.90\end{array}\right][/tex]

Given that

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccccccccc}Letters&10&2&[\ ]&7&1&500&[\ ] \\Cost&0.45&0.90&6.75&[\ ]&[\ ]&[\ ] & 18.90\end{array}\right][/tex]

Let:

[tex]L \to[/tex] Letters

[tex]C \to[/tex] Cost

Using proportional reasoning, we have:

[tex]C = kL[/tex]

Where

[tex]k \to[/tex] ratio of proportion

For the first values of C and L, we have:

[tex]C = kL[/tex]

[tex]0.45 = k \times 10[/tex]

Divide both sides by 10

[tex]k = 0.045[/tex]

So, the equation of proportion is:

[tex]C = 0.045L[/tex]

When C = 6.75, we have:

[tex]C = 0.045L[/tex]

[tex]6.75 = 0.045L[/tex]

Solve for L

[tex]L = \frac{6.75}{0.045}[/tex]

[tex]L = 150[/tex]

When L = 7, we have:

[tex]C = 0.045L[/tex]

[tex]C = 0.045 \times 7[/tex]

[tex]C = 0.315[/tex]

When L = 1, we have:

[tex]C = 0.045L[/tex]

[tex]C = 0.045 \times 1[/tex]

[tex]C = 0.045[/tex]

When L = 500, we have:

[tex]C =0.045L\\[/tex]

[tex]C =0.045 \times 500[/tex]

[tex]C =22.5[/tex]

When C = 18.90, we have:

[tex]C = 0.045L[/tex]

[tex]18.90 = 0.045L[/tex]

Solve for L

[tex]L=\frac{18.90}{0.045}[/tex]

[tex]L=420[/tex]

Hence, the complete table is:

[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccccccccc}Letters&10&2&[150 ]&7&1&500&[420] \\Cost&0.45&0.90&6.75&[0.315]&[0.045 ]&[22.5 ] & 18.90\end{array}\right][/tex]
