Answer:
Number of squares = [tex]\frac{75}{k}[/tex]
Here, [tex]k[/tex] is a constant of proportionality.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The number of ovals is proportional to the number of squares.
To find: Number of squares when there are 75 ovals
Solution:
Let [tex]x[/tex] denotes number of squares.
As the number of ovals is proportional to the number of squares,
Number of ovals ∝ [tex]x[/tex]
That is Number of ovals = [tex]kx[/tex] where [tex]k[/tex] is a constant of proportionality.
As there are 75 ovals,
[tex]75=kx[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{75}{k}[/tex]
So,
Number of squares = [tex]\frac{75}{k}[/tex]
