Question

It takes 16 beads to make 4 bracelets. What is the constant of proportionality that relates the number of bracelets made, y, to the number of beads used, x?

4/1 fourth

40

80

1/40

Answer 1

4/1

Explanation:

x=number of beads used

y=number of braclets made

16x=4y

(16 times the number of bead you used = 4 times the number of braclets you made)

16x=4y now divide both sides by 4

4x=1y

4 beads = 1 braclet

ratio is 4;1
