Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If 3⁄4 gallons of water come out of a hose in 15 minutes, to calculate the rate of water that comes out in an hour (60 minutes), we will use the expression;
3/4 gallons = 15 minutes
x gallons = 60minutes
cross multiply
15x = 3/4 * 60
15x = 180/4
15x = 45
x = 45/15
x = 3/1
x = 3:1
Hence the water rate in gallons per hour is 3 gallons per hour
Answer:
c This is the direct variation
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for direct variation is y= kx
Solving this for k
y/x =k
So y/x must be a constant
a. 9/3 =3
2/7 does not =3 so this is not a direct variation
b 1/2 = .5
-3/6 = -.5
This is not the same so this is not a direct variation
c. 27/9 =3
18/6 =3
9/3 =3
This is a direct variation with a constant of 3
d 5/-7 = -5/7
1/-3 = -1/3
This is not the same so this is not a direct variation
Well, if you want to get p by itself, you will have to multiply both sides by 5/2. 2/5 times 5/2 gives you 1p, or just p.
