today, howell has 75 kiwis. he will eat 2 of them every day. is the number of kiwis howell has left proportional to the number of days that pass? choose 1 answer: a yes b no
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Define variables
Let $d$ be the number of days passed and $k$ be the number of kiwis left. Initially, $k = 75$. Since he eats 2 kiwis per day, the relationship is $k=75 - 2d$.
Step2: Check proportionality
For two - variables $x$ and $y$ to be proportional, the relationship must be of the form $y = mx$ (where $m$ is a non - zero constant), or $\frac{y}{x}=m$. In our case, if we consider $\frac{k}{d}=\frac{75 - 2d}{d}=\frac{75}{d}-2$. Since $\frac{k}{d}$ is not a constant (it depends on $d$), the number of kiwis left is not proportional to the number of days passed.
Answer:
B. No
