Ifthe number of days a book is overdue increases, will the fine increase or decrease? If the number of days a book is overdue is doubled, how will the fine change? 2 Hint: Compare the fines when a book is overdue for 3 days and for 6 days. 3. Ifthe number of days a book is overdue is tripled, what will happen to the fine? IF the number of days a book is overdue is halved, how will the fine change? Hint: Compare the fines when a book is overdue for 10 days and for 5 days. Ifthe number of days a book is overdue is reduced to + ofthe original number, what will happen to the fine? From the investigation, we notice that as the number of days, x, a book is overdue increases, the fine, y cents, increases proportionally, i.e. if is doubled, then y wil be doubled if xis tripled, then y will be tripled. Similarly, as the number of days, x, a book is overdue decreases, the fine, y cents, decreases proportionally, i.e. if x is halved, then y will be halved; ifsisreducedto + ofits orginal value, then y willbe reducedto 4 of is original value This relationship is known as direct proportion. We say that the fine, y cents, 's directly proportional to the number of days, x, a book is overdue.
