Question

Write an equation for the proportional relationship. Let X represent a length measured in meters and y represent the same length measured in centimeters. ​

Answer 1

`y=100x`

Explanation:

Given that
`x` is the length measured in meters and

`y` represents the same length measured in centimeters.

Let us first have a look at the relationship between meters and centimeters units of length.

1 unit of length in meters = 100 units of length in centimeters

Therefore, it can be said that:

2 units of length in meters = 200 units of length in centimeters

3 units of length in meters = 300 units of length in centimeters

4 units of length in meters = 400 units of length in centimeters

OR

`x` units of length in meters = 100
`x` units of length in centimeters

It is given that
`y` is the length in centimeters.

Therefore, the proportional equation can be written as:

`y=100x`
