Question

Cayley says that the equations p=1.5q and 2/3p q both represent the same proportional relationship. Mariah says that can't be true because the constants of proportionality are different. With which student do you agree? Explain.

Answer 1

Let's rewrite the second equation.
$\frac{2}{3} p=q$
Multiplying both sides by $\frac{3}{2}$ gives us
$\frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{3}p= \frac{3}{2}q\\ p= \frac{3}{2}q $

So the second equation is equivalent to the first equation. That means both equations represent the same proportional relationship. Cayley was correct.
