Answer:

y = $\frac{3}{4}$ x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the quantities vary directly then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use either of the 2 given points

Using (12, 9), that is x = 12 when y = 9, then

k = $\frac{y}{x}$ = $\frac{9}{12}$ = $\frac{3}{4}$

y = $\frac{3}{4}$ x ← equation of variation

Joe is 1.6m tall. His shadow is 2m long when he stands 3m from the base of a floodlight.height1.6 m2m3mWhat is the height of the

alexdok [17]

We are given the height of Joe which is 1.6 meters, the length of his shadow is 2 meters when he stands 3 meters from the base of the floodlight.

First, we have to illustrate the problem. Then we can observe two right triangles formed, one is using Joe and the length of the shadow, the other is the floodlight and the sum of the distance from the base plus the length of the shadow. To determine the height of the floodlight, use ratio and proportion:

1.6 / 2 = x / (2 +3)

where x is the height of the flood light

solve for x, x = 4. Therefore, the height of the floodlight is 4 meters.

Train a is traveling at 30 mph faster than train b. If train a travels 350 miles in the same amount of time that train b travels

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

20 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let speed of Train a = Va mph

Let speed of Train b = Vb mph

Va = Vb + 30

Let time taken for Train a = Ta

Let time taken for Train b = Tb

time taken = distance travelled/speed

Ta = 350/Va = 350/(Vb+30)

Tb = 140/Vb

But they both travel in the same amount of time.

So, Ta = Tb

$\frac{350}{v_{b} + 30}=\frac{140}{v_{b}}$

Cross multiply

$350v_{b} = 140(v_{b} + 30)\\\\350v_{b} = 140v_{b} + 4200\\\\350v_{b} -140v_{b} = 4200\\\\210v_{b} = 4200$

Divide both sides by 210

$\frac{210v_{b} }{210} \frac{4200}{210} \\\\v_{b} = 20 mph$

The width of a rectangle is 6 in. less than its length. The perimeter is 68 in.

erma4kov [3.2K]

2L + 2(L-6) = 68

2L + 2L -12 = 68

4L = 80

L = 20

The length is 20 in. and the width is 14 in.
