IM 7.2.8 Practice: Comparing Relationships with Equations
The relationship between a distance in yards (y) and the same distance in miles (m) is described by the equation y=1760m. Find measurements in yards and miles for distances by completing the table.
Is there a proportional relationship between a measurement in yards and a measurement in miles for the same distance? Explain why or why not.
Decide whether or not the equation represents a proportional relationship.

To transmit information on the internet, large files are broken into packets of smaller sizes. Each packet has 1,500 bytes of information. An equation relating packets to bytes of information is given by where represents the number of packets and represents the number of bytes of information. How many packets would be needed to transmit 30,000 bytes of information?
How much information could be transmitted in 30,000 packets?
Each byte contains 8 bits of information. Write an equation to represent the relationship between the number of packets and the number of bits.
