2 answers:

8 0

First we set up our problem.

8- 2 3/4

Next, we turn our mixed fraction, 2 3/4, into an improper fraction.

2 3/4= 11/4.

Next, we turn 8 into a fraction.

32/4.

The reason we chose 4 as our denominator was to make it easier to subtract it from 11/4.

Next we subtract our two fractions.

32/4-11/4=21/4.

Finally, we simplify 21/4.

5 1/4.

Our final answer is 5 1/4.

Have a nice day! :)

If y varies directly as x^2 and y=12 when x=2, find y when x=5

Shkiper50 [21]

$y=ax^2\\\\y=12\ \ \ and\ \ \ x=2\ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ 12=a\cdot 2^2\ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ a= \frac{4}{12}= \frac{1}{3} \\\\y=\frac{1}{3} x^2\\\\x=5\ \ \ \Rightarrow\ \ \ y=\frac{1}{3} \cdot5^2=\frac{25}{3} =8\frac{1}{3}$
