Answer:
d.
Step-by-step explanation:
if x varies directly as y,
x = ky
8 = 12k
12k = 8
k = 8/ 12
k = 2/3,
x = 2/3 y
now substitute the value of any of the numbers of each pair, and check if it works:
for e.g, find x when y = 15
x = 2/3y
x = 2/3 × 15
x = 10
since you obtain x = 10 when y = 15, the pair is a possible corresponding value of x and y. now do the same for the rest .
ii) x = 2/3y
x = 2/3 × 3, when y = 3
x = 2
hence, this is also a possible pair of x and y values.
iii) x = 2/3y
x = 2/3 × 9 when y = 9
x = 6
again, a possible pair of x and y values.
iv) x = 2/3y
x = 2/3 × 20 when y = 20
x = 40/3
here, when y = 20, x is not 15. it is 40/3.
thus, it can be determined that this is not a possible pair of x and y values.
please try to understand and have a great day!

Answer:
a. 2:3, b. 25 students, c. 3:2
Step-by-step explanation:
a. 5 (total) - 2 (with glasses) = 3 (without glasses), making the ratio 2:3.
b. We can assign the total students with the variable x. 3:5=15:x, 75=3x, x=25. 25 total students.
c. 25 (total students) - 15 (without glasses) = 10 (with glasses). (10+5):(15-5) is 15:10, which, when simplified, equals to 3:2.
