Abookcase has a mass of 30 kilograms. a book in the bookcase has a mass of 400 grams. how many books of the same mass would it take to equal the mass of the bookcase? a. 75 books b. 120 books c. 750 books d. 1,200 books

OPTION A

Step-by-step explanation:

You can convert  30 kilograms to grams (), then:

Then, if a book in the bookcase has a mass of 400 grams and you need to find the number of books of the same mass that would take to equal the mass of the bookcase, you can divide the weight of the bookcase (in grams) by the weigth of one of these books.

Therefore:

d

step-by-step explanation:

hello and welcome!

so, when we see the words "proportional" along with a table, we need to know that we're looking numbers that divide by the same thing.

looking at this table, we simply have to do a trial and error, and divide to see which numbers have the same quotient. if you look at choice a & c, they both have equal quotients for three of the numbers, with one exception, so those can't be the answer. looking at b, there is no similarity, so that can't be it. then, we see d; if you divide all the numbers in the table, you'll see that they all divide by two, which is a proportional relationship, and our answer!

also, always remember that the x will always be the number that goes into y, and somewhere behind this table, is a formula. for this specific table, the formula would be:

since our x-value is being divided by two to get the y-value. and if they were to ask for more numbers in the series, this is the formula you would use to find them.
