Is there a proportional relationship? A salt water solution for and aquarium calls for 35 parts of salt to 1000 parts of water tareq used a ratio of 7 parts of salt and 200 parts of water

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

To check proportionality :

35 α 1000

35 = 1000k

k = constant of proportionality ;

Divide both sides by 1000 to obtain k

35 / 1000 = 1000k / 1000

0.035 = k

For the ratio Given :

Ratio of 7 parts of salt and 200 parts of water

7 : 200

7 / 200

= 0.035

Since,

k = 0.035 ; 7 / 200 = 0.035

Hence, a proportional relationship exists.
