Answer:

y = 5x

Step-by-step explanation:

since y varies directly as x then the equation connecting them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

to find k use the condition y = 60 when x = 12, then

k = $\frac{y}{x}$ = $\frac{60}{12}$ = 5

y = 5x ← is the equation of variation

Find the reciprocal of the number.<br><br> 57

liberstina [14]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{57}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The reciprocal of a number is 1 / the number,

so the reciprocal of x is $\frac{1}{x}$ .

Harold and Millicent are getting married and need to combine their already-full libraries. If Harold, who has 1/2 as many books

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of books that Millicent has. So the number of books that Harold has is x/2. And the number of book that Harold is bringing to the new home is (x/2)/3 = x/6.

The home has enough room for another half of Millicent's books, which is x/2. So the total books capacity of the new home is

$\frac{x}{6} + \frac{x}{2} = \frac{x}{6} + \frac{3x}{6} = \frac{4x}{6} = \frac{2x}{3}$

Since x is also the number of books in Millicent's old library capacity, we can conclude that the fraction of Millicent's old library capacity to the new home's library capacity is 2/3, or 2 thirds

a rectangular cake has a length of 15 inches and a width of 10 inches how many whole square pieceslenghts of 2 1/2 inches can be

sineoko [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The cake measures 10 inches by 15 inches. If pieces are 2.5 inches long and wide (they are square and equal) then 6 pieces will be cut along the length.

15/ 2.5 = 6

And 4 pieces will be cut along the width.

10/ 2.5 = 4

All together when the entire cake is cut, there will be 4*6 = 24 squares 2.5 inch long pieces.

A give line has the equation 10x+2y=-2. What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that is parallel to the given

madam [21]

first off, let's solve the "given" line for "y", that way we can put it in slope-intercept form to see what its slope might be.

$\bf 10x+2y=-2\implies 2y=-10x-2\implies y=\cfrac{-10x-2}{2} \\\\\\ y=\cfrac{-10x}{2}-\cfrac{2}{2}\implies y=\stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{-5}x-1\impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}$

well, a parallel line to that one, will have the same exact slope, so then, we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -5 and runs through (0 , 12)

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{12})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies -5 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-12=-5(x-0) \\\\\\ y-12=-5x\implies y=-5x+12$
