<h3>Answer: C. 16.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given inverse relation between f(x) and x.

The function f(x) varies inversely with x.

Inverse relation could be written as

f(x) = \frac{k}{x}.

We also given f(x) = 4 when x = 12.

Plugging f(x) = 4 and x=12 in the above inverse relation to get the value of constant k.

4=\frac{k}{12}.

On cross multiplying, we get

12× 4 = 12 \times \frac{k}{12}

48 = k

Now, we need to find f(x) for x=3.

Plugging k=48 and x=3 in inverse relation, we get

f(x) = \frac{48}{3} = 16.

<h3>Therefore, f(x)=16 when x=3.</h3>

A cookie factory uses 1/6 of a bag of flour in each batch of cookies. The factory uses 5/6 of a bag of flour yesterday. How many
aliina [53]


From the information given, each batch of cookies requires 1/6 of a bag of flour.

So how many batches can be gotten from 5/6 of the bag of flour?

We form an equation

1batch  = 1/6

x batches = 5/6

Where x is the number of batches from 5/6 bag of flour.

Cross multiplying this equation we get:

x * 1/6 = 1 * 5/6

simplify it:

x * 0.16 = 1 * 0.83

x = 1 * 0.83 / 0.16

x = 0.83 / 0.16

x =  5.2

Therefore  factory made approximately 5 batches of cookies yesterday.

\bf \qquad \textit{Simple Interest Earned}\\\\&#10;I = Prt\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;I=\textit{interest earned}\to &\$6500\\&#10;P=\textit{original amount deposited}\\&#10;r=rate\to 2.6\%\to \frac{2.6}{100}\to &0.026\\&#10;t=years\to &3&#10;\end{cases}

she should have invested P, in order to get I = 6500

but she instead invested 17,801, how much more did she need? well, P - 17801

solve for P

What is the answer to this?
katrin [286]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{-28}

Step-by-step explanation:

We can substitute the given values of a, b, and c to find the value of this expression.

-4 | a + b - c|

-4 | 3 + (-2) - (-6)|

We know that <em>two negatives make a positive. </em>This means that -2 - (-6) will be the same this as -2+6

-4 | 3 + -2 + 6|

Adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive.

\4 | 3-2+6|\\\\3-2+6 = 7

-4 \cdot 7 = -28

Hope this helped!

Ratio of two complementary angles is 3:7. What's the measures of both angles
Advocard [28]
The total 'parts' of the ratio is 10 (3+7).
Complementary angles add to 90 degrees.
Divide 90 by 10 and you get 9.
Each 'part' is 9.
3:7 * 9 = 27:63
One angle is 27 degrees and the other is 63 degrees.
