Inverse proportion is of the form:
y=k/x, in this case the variables are
z=k/x, and we are given the point (6,2) so we can solve for k
2=k/6
12=k, so our equation is:
z=12/x, so when x=13
z=12/13
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the line that is parallel to the line we are trying to find is
We can recall that when two lines are parallel it means that they have the same slope. Therefore the slope of the line we are trying to find is also -4. We now know that:
Therefore the equation of the line is:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1 ) Y∝ 1 / X
Y = k / X
Y = 9 , X = -5
Putting the values in the relation above
9 = k / - 5
k = -45
Y = - 45 / X
Put Y = - 6
- 6 = - 45 / X
X = - 45 / -6
= 7.5
2 )
Luke and Nora can peel 12 carrots in 5 minutes
in 1 minute Luke and Nora can peel 12 / 5 carrot
in 1 minute Luke alone can peel 12/ 11 carrot .
In 1 minute Nora alone will peel (12 / 5 - 12/ 11 ) carrot
(12 / 5 - 12 / 11 )
= 2.4 - 1.1
= 1.3 carrot
In 1 minute Nora alone will peel 1.3 carrot
1.3 carrot in 1 minute
8 carrot in 8 / 1.3 minute
= 6.15 minutes.
In 1 minute Nora alone will peel 8 carrot in 6.15 minutes working alone.
