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>

A map has a scale of 3 cm and 20 cm which statement is true or false two cities are actually 66 cm part are9.9 cm part
victus00 [196]
Answer:
Answer options
A. Two cities that are 7.5 cm apart on the map are actually 50 km apart.
D. Two cities that are actually 66 km apart are 9.9 cm apart on the map.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Indicate the scale as shown;
3 cm : 20 km, meaning 3 cm on the map represents 20 km on the ground
A). what does 7.5 cm represent on the ground
Distance on ground=(7.5×20)/3=50 km
B). what does 4 cm represent on the ground
Distance on ground=(4×20)/3=26.67 km
C). what does 45 km on ground represent on the map
Distance on map=(45×3)/20=6.75 cm
D). what does 66 km on ground represent on the map
Distance on the map=(66×3)/20=9.9 cm

Please help and explain very easy good luck

Answer:

-76

Step-by-step explanation:

A positive digit multiplied by a negative digit will result as a negative digit.

So,

6 · -8 = -48

Now if there is a problem where a number is added by a negative digit number, you turn the "plus" sign into a "negative" sign.

So,

- 48 + (- 28)

-48 - 28

If you subtract a negative by a negative, the answer will be negative BUT you have to ADD those two negative digits together and put the negative sign after.

- 48 - 28 = -76
