Answer:

B = 1.875

Step-by-step explanation:

given that A varies directly as B and inversely as C then the equation relating them is

A = $\frac{kB}{C}$ ← k is the constant of variation

to find k use the condition A = 12 when B = 3 and C = 2 , then

12 = $\frac{3k}{2}$ ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

24 = 3k ( divide both sides by 3 )

8 = k

A = $\frac{8B}{C}$ ← equation of variation

when A = 10 and C = 1.5 , then

10 = $\frac{8B}{1.5}$ ( multiply both sides by 1.5 )

15 = 8B ( divide both sides by 8 )

1.875 = B

Is this the correct surface area? Explain how you know

yarga [219]

Answer:

No. The actual total surface area is double that: 108 in².

Step-by-step explanation:

The area Charlotte has computed is the area of the faces you can see. There are three other faces you cannot see that are the same size. So, the total area is double the amount Charlotte has computed.

A = 2(LW +H(L+W)) = 2(6·4+3(6+4)) = 2(24+30) = 2(54) = 108 . . . . sq in

On Sunday, a local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 428 hamburgers and cheeseburgers. The number of cheese burgers sold w

melisa1 [442]

The equation you can use is x + 3x = 428 with x as the number of cheeseburgers and 3x the number of hamburgers
you solve for x and get 4x= 428 and x=107

so 321 hamburgers were sold that day.
