So if somthing varies inversely then when one value goes up, the other value goes down so xy=z and z has to be the same so lets say that z=16
when x=2 y=8
when x=4 y=4
when x=8 y=2
when x=16 y=1
so xy=z
subtitute
(3)(5)=15
so if x=5 y=3
x=1 y=15
x=15 y=1

PLEASE HELP I WILL JIVE YOU 100 POINTS NEEDED ASAP
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

0.3 galloons of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 1/5 galloons of water fills 2/3 of the bin.

So, we can write the following fraction:

\frac{\frac{1}{5}\text{ galloons}}{\frac{2}{3}\text{ bin}}

We want to find how many galloons will fill the entire bin or 1 whole bin. So, we can write the following proportion:

\frac{\frac{1}{5}\text{ galloons}}{\frac{2}{3}\text{ bin}}=\frac{x\text{ galloons}}{1\text{ bin}}

To find our answer, we need to solve for x.

So, let's cross-multiply. This yields:

\frac{2}{3}x=\frac{1}{5}

Multiply both sides by 3:

3(\frac{2}{3}x)=3(\frac{1}{5})

The left side simplifies. Multiply on the right:

2x=\frac{3}{5}

Now, multiply both sides by 1/2:

\frac{1}{2}(2x)=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{3}{5})

Simplify the left. Multiply on the right:

x=\frac{3}{10}

So, 3/10 of 0.3 of a gallon of water will fill the entire bin.

And we're done!
