Answer: 75/1

Step-by-step explanation: what did you get

Guillermo Berry · Answer 2

75/k number of squares depending on the value of k

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of ovals be x and the number of squares by y.

If the number of ovals is proportional to the number of squares, this can be expressed as:

x∝y

x = ky where k is the constant of proportionally

If there are 75ovals, then x = 75

To get the number of squares y that will be there if there are 75 ovals, we will substitute x=75 into the equation given

75 = kx

x = 75/k

The number of squares there is 75/k depending on any value of k
