Answer: Here we have a real life multiplication situation for which an estimate make sense:-

Miley has 212 fiction books. Sharon has 3 times fiction books has many as Miley has, how many fiction books Sharon has

Solution :- Number of fiction books Miley has = 212

Number of fiction books Sharon has= 3 times 212

We know that 212 is near to 200 , so round off 212 to 200 (to the nearest hundred)

Thus the product becomes $3\times200=600$

Therefore, the estimated number of fiction books Sharon has=600

The variables x and y are inversely proportional, and y = 2 when x = 3. What is the value of y when x = 9?

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

$\huge \purple{ \boxed{ y = \frac{2}{3} }}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the variables x and y are inversely proportional.

$\therefore \: y \: \: \alpha \: \: \frac{1}{x} \\ \implies \: y = \frac{k}{x} \\ (k = constant) \\ \implies \: xy = k ...(1)\\ plug \: y = 2, \: \: x = 3 \: in \: equation \: (1) \\ we \: find \\ 2 \times 3 = k \\ k = 6 \\ plug \:k = 6 \: in \: equation \: (1) \\ xy = 6 \\ (this \: is \: the \: equation \: of \: variation) \\ when \: x = 9 \: \: y =? \\ \\ 9y = 6 \\ y = \frac{6}{9} \\ \huge \red{ \boxed{ y = \frac{2}{3} }}$
