Okay I think there has been a transcription issue here because it appears to me there are two answers. However I can spot where some brackets might be missing, bear with me on that.
A direct variation, a phrase I haven't heard before, sounds a lot like a direct proportion, something I am familiar with. A direct proportion satisfies two criteria:
The gradient of the function is constant s the independent variable (x) varies
The graph passes through the origin. That is to say when x = 0, y = 0.
Looking at these graphs, two can immediately be ruled out. Clearly A and D pass through the origin, and the gradient is constant because they are linear functions, so they are direct variations.
This leaves B and C. The graph of 1/x does not have a constant gradient, so any stretch of this graph (to y = k/x for some constant k) will similarly not be direct variation. Indeed there is a special name for this function, inverse proportion/variation. It appears both B and C are inverse proportion, however if I interpret B as y = (2/5)x instead, it is actually linear.
This leaves C as the odd one out.
I hope this helps you :)
Hello!
3/4 = 0.75 as a decimal
We know that Jen picks 0.75 of a gallon of strawberries in half an hour, and now we want to find out how many gallons she'll pick in 2 hours.
Half an hour = 0.5
2 ÷ 0.5 = 4 There are four half hours in 2 hours.
0.75 × 4 = 3
ANSWER:
Jen will have picked 3 gallons of strawberries in 2 hours.
Answer:f
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Number of quarters → 15
Number of dimes → 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of dimes I have = y
And number of quarters = x
Since, I have amount in my pocket = $2
Therefore, 0.10y + 0.25x = 2
100(0.10y + 0.25x) = 100×2
25x + 10y = 200
5x + 2y = 40
2y = -5x + 40
y = -2.5x + 20 ---------(1)
Total number of coins in my pocket = 17
x + y = 17
y = -x + 17 ---------(2)
By using a graphing calculator we can graph these two lines (As attached)
Solution of the given system of equations will be the point of intersection of these lines.
Solution → (2, 15)
Number of quarters → 15
Number of dimes → 2
