B) 4p = b

C) p =

4

b

D) b =

4

p

Answer 1

The answer is A)

Explanation:

Its just A) boooiissss

Answer 2

Answer: A) p = 4b

Explanation:

We know that the equation for direct variation between two quantities x( independent variable ) and y( dependent variable ) is given by :

`y=kx` , where k is proportionality constant.

Let p = Number of pillows and b= Number of beds.

If four pillows require for each bed, then

Number of pillows = 4 x (Number of beds)

i.e. p = 4 x (b)

i.e. p =4b

Hence, the equation that represents the proportional relationship described with an equation where p equals pillows and b equals beds:

p = 4b

Therefore , the correct answer is A) p = 4b.
