Oxana [17]

Answer:

Answer is 900.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find:

Increase #500 in the ratio 16:10

Solution:

New Number: Old Number = 16:10

We are given the old number as 500.

Let the new number after increase = $x$

Now, using the above ratio:

 $x$ : 500 = 16:10

$\dfrac{x}{500} = \dfrac{16}{10}\\\Rightarrow x = 500 \times \dfrac{16}{10}\\\Rightarrow x = 50 \times 16\\\Rightarrow x = 900$

Therefore, the increased value of 500 in the ration 16:10 is 900.

The tension t in a spring varies directly with the distance d the spring is stretched. If the

yarga [219]

Answer:

t = 21d

Step-by-step explanation:

Here tension and distance are denoted t by d and respectively. Since t varies directly with d , then the relation between t and d is k=td Given that, for the tension 42 pounds, the spring is stretched 2 inches. Substituting t = 42 and d= 2 into t = kd find the value of k . Therefore,

42= K (2)

$K=\frac{42}{2}$
