Which situation could not represent a proportional relationship? a) the amount an employee who makes $13.50 per hour in h hours. b) the cost of purchasing p pounds of bananas for $0.39 per pound. c) the number of gallons of oil in b barrels with 48 gallons of oil in each barrel. d) the weight in w weeks of a puppy that gains 1.5 pounds per week if its starting weight is 6 pounds.

D

Step-by-step explanation:

D)The weight in w weeks of a puppy that gains 1.5 pounds per week if its starting weight is 6 pounds.

Why?  Because the weight of the puppy has an initial value other than zero, and thus the straight line graph here does not go through the origin.

20

step-by-step explanation:

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
