Question

The constant of proportionality between the number of markers (m) and the number of pencils (p) in an art room is 8/3. There are 304 markers in the art room. How many pencils are in the art room?

Answer 1

p=114

Explanation:

Let K=m/p=8/3 proporcionality constant. if m=304 then p=?

m/p=8/3; 8/3=m/p; p(8/3)=m; p=(3/8)m; replacing m we have p=304(3/8) finally p=114
