Grapes = 2 1/2 pounds = 5/2 pounds
Apples = 1 1/4 times grapes = 5/4 times grapes

Apples = 5/4 * 5/2 = 25/8 pounds = 3 1/8 pounds

So if, <span>2 1/2 = 5/2 and 1 1/4 = 5/4,
then </span>5/2 * 5/4 = 5*5 / 2*4 <span>= 25/8 is simplified to 3 1/8 pounds.</span>

If n and k are positive integers, is n divisible by 6 ? (1) n = k(k + 1)(k – 1) (2) k – 1 is a multiple of 3.
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer: yes, it is

Step-by-step explanation:

A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by 2 and 3 simultaniously.

n = k(k+1)(k-1)

If k-1 is a multiple of 3, n is divisible by 3, so one of the requirements is ok.

Now, if k-1 is a multiple of 3, it can be even or odd.

if k-1 is even, then it is divisible by 2 and as it is divisible by 3 as well, n is divisible by 6

if k-1 is odd, then k and k+1 is even, hence, divisible by 2.

As n = k(k+1)(k-1), n is also divisible by 6.

If y varies inversely with x<br> and y is 10 when x is 5,<br> then what is y when x is 2?
Jobisdone [24]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  25

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverse variation means ...

  y = k/x

For the given values, we can find k to be ...

  k = xy = (5)(10) = 50

Then for x=2, we have ...

  y = 50/x

  y = 50/2

  y = 25 . . . when x=2
