The amount of chlorine needed to treat a swimming pool is directly proportional to the volume of the pool.

Question

chlorine: volume of pool:
5 2500
10 5000
15 7500
What is the constant of proportionality for this relationship?
a. 0.002
b. 0.02
c. 0.2
d. 1/2

Answer 1

C = kV
Now just use one of the data points, how about the first one
5 = k(2500)
k = 5/2500 = .002

So C = .002V

(notice all the other given data points satisfy this equation)

Answer 2

ok thx

Answer 3

would it be 0.002

Answer 4

what is the answer c or what????

Answer 5

^ right!

Answer 6

So the answer would be 0.002 and nothing else I believe.

Answer 7

YES ITS 0.002 :)
