Loosely, "varies inversely" means that as one quantity increases, the other decreases. Specifically, if x and y vary inversely, then y = k/x where k is some constant (a particular number).
Another way to write that relationship is xy = k. To find the value of k for this problem, you need a numbers for x and y that go together.
Suppose x = number of children and y = number of candies (it doesn't matter what order these go in as long as you keep track!).
"When 12 children are present, 140 pieces of candy are consumed." So when x = 12, the value of y = 140.
xy = k
(12)(140) = k
1680 = k
Now, when x = 8 children,
8y = 1680
y = 210

c. 0.1151
Step-by-step explanation:
d) the probability that, on average, fish are larger than 86 centimeters in length.The area under part of a normal probability curve is directly proportional to probability and the value is calculated as
z = (x₁−x) /σ
where z = propability of normal curve
x₁ = variate mean = 86cm
x = mean of 80cm
σ = standard deviation = 5cm
applying the formula,
z= (86-80)/5
z = 6/5 =1.2
Using a table of partial areas beneath the standardized normal curve (see Table of normal curve, a z-value of 1.2 corresponds to an area of 0.3849 between the mean value. but, because the standard curve has 0.5, then will minus 0.3849 from 0.5= 0.5 - 0.3849 = 0.1151
Thus the probability of a fish are larger than 86 centimeters in length is 0.1151
