4 carpenters can build 8 houses in 10 days. 2016-04-05
Kenneth pose la question :
Hello:

Here is my question:

4 carpenters can build 8 houses in 10 days. 2 carpenters can build how many houses in 15 days?

Here is one solution:

The number of houses built is jointly proportional to the number of carpenters and the number of days. So h = kcd where k is a constant. Substituting the given: 8 = k*40, so k = 1/5. Our formula is then h = cd/5. I'm not sure how to determine whether or not one unit is jointly proportional to any other unit.

However, if 2 carpenters are unknown as in 4 carpenters can build 8 houses in 10 days. How many carpenters can build 6 houses in 15 days? What is the solution using this method? And likewise, if days are unknown, as in 4 carpenters can build 8 houses in 10 days. 2 carpenters can build 6 houses in how many days?

I thank you for your assistance.

If x ix directly proportional to y then ... 2012-02-19
Crystal pose la question :
I understand that we say x and y are proportional, then y = kx.
Generally when we say x is proportional to y, we think that when x increases y increases.
Now I am questioning whether that is actually true.
If k is negative, then when x increases, y DECREASES.
My question is does this mean this statement is incorrect:
If x is proportional to y, when x increases, y increases proportionally.
Is it more correct to say:
If x is proportional to y, when x increases, y either increases proportionally or decreases proportionally.
Along the same line of reasoning, when x is inversely proportional to y, we think that when x increases y decreases, but that is true only if k is positive.
Is that correct?

Ratios and proportions with mixed units 2010-05-13
Kenneth pose la question :
Is it incorrect to have a proportion with numbers containing units that are not the same on both sides of the equal sign?

Here is an example: $0.07/$1.00 = ?/$0.89 is okay, but if I add a different unit (20 ounces) to one side of the equal sign but not the same unit to the other, is the proportion incorrect?

$0.07/$1.00 = ?/$0.89/20 ounces.

In order to determine the missing amount, the calculation becomes ($0.07/$1.00)/$0.89/20 ounces = $?, but is this proportion correct with the units as they are? Two dollar-units cancel leaving dollar/ounces equals $?/ounces, but is this correct?

Scaling a logo 2008-10-20
Carl pose la question :
Hello! I hope that you can help me out here. I've been trying to figure this out for awhile now and can't come up with the answer logically. I am a graphic designer by trade and need to figure out how large my client's logo should be. The logo will need to be sized proportionally with the surface area of the page. The logo will always be sized at 1.2938(w) x .75(h) on a letter size page (8.5 x 11).
My question is...
When you increase the size of the page (not always proportionally sized - dimensionally) how do figure out the NEW size of the logo. I could have a page 20" x 40" or 30' x 4'... or ANY size really. I believe I have the new surface area of the logo but can't find the new dimensions.

I'm a creative type who needs to find how you can determine the horizontal, relative percentages within a triangle. Attached is a pdf showing approximately the

I'm not concerned about height as I am wanting to break down the percentages into 60% at the bottom, 25% in the middle and 15% at the top.

Knitting gauge and felting 2003-10-27
Sara pose la question :

I wish to create a pattern to knit an item that will then be felted, thus, shrink as a result. In order to determine the proper gauge to use in creating the item, I produced a gauge swatch, noted the original properties and then the post-felting properties. They are as follow:

Before Felting:

20 stitches(width) x 20 rows(height)yielded:
Gauge: 3.2 stitches(width) and 4 rows(height) = 1"
Dimensions: 6.25"(width) x 5.25"(height)

After Felting:

20 stitches(width) x 20 rows(height)
Dimensions: 4"(width) x 3"(height)

How do I calculate the percentage change in size to accurately determine the number of stitches and rows needed to produce the desired dimensions for the finished (felted) item?
