Respuesta :

Since we have that by $8 he can buy 4 pounds of wheat fluor and with $20 he can buy 5 pounds of rye fluor, we will have the expression:

[tex]y=\frac{5}{4}x[/tex]

That since we use the proportionality in order to determine the quantity of wheat fluor that is used with rye fluor.

[tex]y=(1.25)x[/tex]
