#### Solutions

Chapter 1.11, Problem 45E
To determine

## To find:The possible grow gigantic cabbages in the midnight sun

Expert Solution

The equation of the value is k=36lb

### Explanation of Solution

Given:

A=20ozN=12cabbageS=30lb

Concept used:

If the quantities x and y are related by an equation

y=kx

For some constant k0

That is y varies inversely as x or y is inversely proportional to x

The constant k is called constant proportionality

Calculation:

If the quantities S,A and N are related by an equation

SαAN

S=kAN

For some constant k0

That is v varies inversely z or v is inversely proportional to z

The constant k is called constant proportionality

A=20ozN=12cabbageS=30lb

The value of k

S=kAN30=k(20)12k=30×1220k=36lb
