Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for direct variation:  y = kx, where k is the proportionality constant.

Knowing that x = 60 when y = 5, we have:

5 = k(60), or k = 5/60, or k = (1/12).

Thus, y = (1/12)x.

If x = 4, y = 4/12 = 1/3.

Answer:  The answer would be 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Y varies DIRECTLY as x. Find the constant of variation, k, if y = -5x </em>

<em>The first sentence is there for information, the constant is a number( 1,2,3...so on) , so the only number is -5 </em>

<em>It is a linear equation meaning equation of a straight line. </em>

<em>its form is y= mx+b, where m is the slope of the line, b is the y intercept when x=0. these info you have to memorize like your life depend on it. </em>

<em>next, y varies directly as x. If y = 15 when x = 60, find y when x = 100 </em>

<em>if y= 15, when x=60, then there is a number m such that m*y= 60 </em>

<em>or m= 60/y= 60/15 =4 </em>

<em>so the equation is y=4x. in this cause, the b=0 </em>

<em>so when x=0, y=0 </em>

<em>The distance a car travels at a constant speed varies directly as the time the car spends traveling. If a car traveled 105 miles in 3 hours, how far could the car travel in 5 hours? </em>

<em>remember that distance = speed times time. </em>

<em>or d=Vt </em>

<em>so car goes 105 miles on 3 hours </em>

<em>how far it goes in one hour? </em>

<em>if you know that, then you can tell how far it goes in 5 hours.</em>

<em>Hope I made it non tough enough</em>

<em>Please give me Brainliest</em>

Hey there! :D

1. c - 7 = 32

To solve this problem, add the difference and the subtrahend of the given equation.

32 + 7 = \boxed{\sf 39}

Checking:

To check, simply substitute the conclusion on the unknown quantity.

39 (c) - 7 = 32

Thus, the equation was correct which gives us the answer that:

\large \boxed{ \sf {\: c = 39}}

\begin{gathered} \\ \end{gathered}

2. r + 4 = 39

To solve this problem, subtract the sum and the addend of the given equation.

39 - 4 = \boxed{\sf 35}

Checking:

To check, simply substitute the conclusion on the unknown quantity.

35 (r) + 4 = 39

Thus, the equation was correct which gives us the answer that:

\large\boxed{ \sf {r \: = \: 35}}
