The woman is 6 foot tall

<h3>What is proportion?</h3>

Proportion can be defined as the mathematical comparison of two numbers.

These numbers could be numbers, elements, set or people

From the information given, we have that;

  • The globe is 3 feet and casts a shadow of 8ft
  • The woman cast a shadow of 16ft and is x feet tall

So,

if the globe is 3 foot tall and casts a shadow of 8ft

Then the woman is x foot tall to cast a shadow of 16ft

cross multiply

8x = 24

Make 'x' the subject

x = 48/ 8

x = 6 foot

Thus, the woman is 6 foot tall

Does the data in the table represent a direct variation or an inverse variation? Write an equation to model the data in the tabl
MakcuM [25]

The equation for the direct variation is y= kx (where k is contant of variation.)

This equation represent that if x will increase then y will also increase because it's k times x.

Where the equation for indirect variation is y=\frac{1}{k} x

By this equation if x will increase then y will decrease and vice versa.

The given data is :

x: 2 4 8 12

y: 4 2 1 2/3

Notice as x is increasing then y is decreasing. Like x has increased from 2 to 4 then y is decresing from 4 to 2 and so on.

So, the given data represent an indirect variation.
