Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x: 2    5     8

y: 2 0.8 0.5

Simply by looking at what happens to y as x increases, we can see that y decreases, and that we therefore have inverse variation.

The appropriate model is y = k/x.

If x = 5, y = 0.8, and so     0.8 = k/5

Solving for the constant of proportionality, we get 4 = k.

Then y = 4/x models this data.

One of the largest pumpkin ever grown weighed about 3/4 ton how many pounds did the pumpkin weigh
Dominik [7]
1 ton is 2000 pounds, so if we have 3/4 of a ton, we multiply 2000 pounds by 3/4.  This will end up getting you 1500 pounds.  Hope this helps!
