Question

Cayley says that the equations p=1.5q and 2/3p q both represent the same proportional relationship. Mariah says that can't be true because the constants of proportionality are different. With which student do you agree? Explain.

Answer 2

Let's rewrite the second equation.

`(2)/(3) p=q`
Multiplying both sides by
`(3)/(2)` gives us

`(3)/(2) \cdot (2)/(3)p= (3)/(2)q\\ p= (3)/(2)q`

So the second equation is equivalent to the first equation. That means both equations represent the same proportional relationship. Cayley was correct.
