Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that y varies directly as x then the equation relating them is
y = kx ← k is the constant of variation
here k = 8, thus
y = 8x ← equation of variation
When y = 8, then
8x = 8 ( divide both sides by 8 )
x = 1
The answer is (4/5). If you multiply the first (5/12) over and over, you get this sequence.
Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at the bottom line of the chart.
He sold 41 sides of French fries and 40 sides of onion rings.
41 + 40 = 81
Since he sold a total of 81 sides with bacon cheeseburgers, that means he sold a total of 81 bacon cheeseburgers.
We have a ratio:
81 bacon cheeseburgers to 40 sides of onion rings
Now he sold 120 bacon cheeseburgers, so we set up a proportion to find the number of sides of onion rings. Let the unknown number be x.
81 burgers is to 40 sides as 120 burgers is to x sides
81/40 = 120/x
We solve for x by cross multiplying.
81x = 40 * 120
81x = 4800
x = 4800/81 = 59.3
That means he serves 59 sides of onion rings.
Each serving of onion rings is half pound.
59 * 0.5 = 29.5
For 120 bacon cheeseburgers, he serves approximately 29.5 lb of onion rings.
