Let N be the number of items sold and p the price. 
Since the variation is inverse, then the relation between N and p is:
N=k\dfrac{1}{p}
For N=20000 and p = $9.5, we get the formula:
 20000=k\dfrac{1}{9.5}\\p=20000\times9.5=190000
If p = 8.75, then the number of items sold can be computed using the formula:
N= 190000\dfrac{1}{8.75}=21714 \text{ total items}

Which equations support the fact that rational numbers are closed under subtraction? Select each correct answer
noname [10]

The rationals being closed under subtraction means that if we start with two rational numbers and subtract them, we get another rational number.  Choice c subtracts two rational numbers but gets the wrong answer, so isn't support for anything.  Choice b is rational too because the square root of 4 is 2.

Answer: b

121degree 22' 36'' is like same as what?
Darina [25.2K]
22' is 22 minutes
there are 60 minutes in 1 degree, how many in 22? well, the short answer is you divide it by 60, or 22/60 0.37 or thereabouts, so that makes it 

121.037 degrees and 36''

36'' is 36 seconds, there are 60 seconds in 1 minute, so in short, just divide it by 60 as well, so 36/60 or 0.6 minutes

so, let us revise above some

121 degrees 22' and 36''

22' and 36'' is 22.6'  because 36'' is 0.6'

how much is 22.6' in degrees?  well 22.6/60
or about .38

so. 121° 22' 36'' will  be 121.38° approximately
