a. The constant of proportionality is k = 2

b. If Micah saves $150, his parents will give him $300

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

<h3>PART A.</h3>

From mathematics, we know that y varies directly as x or y is directly proportional to x if and only if:

y=kx for some nonzero constant k.

Here we know some facts:

  • For every $5 that Micah saves, his parents give him $10.

In other words:

Let y be the money his parents give him.

Let x be the money that Micah saves.

We \ know \ that: \\ y=kx \\ \\ \\ Solving \ for \ k: \\ \\ k=\frac{y}{x} \\ \\ k=\frac{10}{5} \\ \\ \boxed{k=2}

So,<em> the constant of proportionality is k = 2</em>

<h3>PART B.</h3>

In this case, we know that Micah saves $150. So we need to find the amount of his parents will give him. So what we know here is the value of x, because x represents the amount of money Micah saves. Therefore, by knowing x and k, we can calculate the value of y, which is the amount of money his parents will give him. Hence:

For \ x=150 \ and \ k=2: \\ \\ y=2(150) \\ \\ \boxed{y=300}

Finally, <em>if Micah saves $150, his parents will give him 300$</em>

The ratio of red to greens was 5 to 16 and six times the number of reds exceeded the number of greens by 112. How many were red
s2008m [1.1K]
<span>Red is 'R' while Green is "G" </span>
<span>from the ratio, 5R = 16 G </span>
<span>and the second equation is 6R = G +112 </span>
<span>Lets solve for G in the 2nd equation ----> G = 6R -112 </span>
<span>Plug the G value into the first equation ----> 5R = 16(6R -112) -->R = 19.69 </span>
<span>Plug the R value into the second equation to get G-----> G = 6.14</span>

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

\frac{ \sqrt{5x} }{5x}

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{1}{ \sqrt{x5} }

=  \frac{1}{ \sqrt{5x} }

=  \frac{1}{ \sqrt{5x} }  \times  \frac{ \sqrt{5x} }{ \sqrt{5x} }

=  \frac{1 \sqrt{5x} }{ \sqrt{5x \sqrt{5x} } }

=  \frac{\sqrt{5x} }{ \sqrt{5x \sqrt{5x} } }

= \frac{ \sqrt{5x} }{5x}
