The answer is b. 200

<span>If y varies inversely as x, then: y = c/x

We know:
y = 40
x = 5

y = c/x
c = y * x
c = 40 * 5
c = 200</span>

Answer:

b. 200

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that y varies inversely as x.

Since we know that equation that represents the inversely proportional relation between y and x is:y=\frac{k}{x}, where,

k= Constant of proportionality.

Upon substituting our given values in above equation we will get,

40=\frac{k}{5}

Let us multiply both sides of our equation by 5.

40\times 5=\frac{k}{5}\times 5

200=k

Therefore, constant of proportionality for our given quantities is 200 and option b is the correct choice.

RUDIKE [14]
The answer is 125. If you were to pair 250 people in 2, that would be 250 divided by 2. And 250 divided by 2 is 125.

Solve these equations.<br> 1. -16 = v - 14<br> 2. -2n = -22<br> 3. 25 = b + 7
leonid [27]

1) -16 = v - 14

Add 14 to both sides.

v = -2

2) -2n = -22

Divide both sides by -2.

n = 11

3) 25 = b + 7

Subtract 7 from both sides.

b = 18
