For this case what we can do is the following rule of three:
 152 -----> 2
 x --------> 20
 We clear the value of x:
 x = (20/2) * (152)
 x = 1520 tons
 Answer: 
 in order to locate 20 ounces of diamonds the company needs: 
 x = 1520 tons of rock

$400 interest is earned on a principal of $2,000 at a simple interest rate of 5% interest per year. For how many years was the p
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Simple interest= $400

Principal= $2000

Rate= 5%

The simple interest formula is given as

SI=PRT/100

substitute and solve for T

400=2000*5*T/100

cross multiply

400*100= 10000*T

40000=10000T

T= 40000/10000

T= 4 years

Hence the time taken is 4 years

How do you find the constant of variation when y=-(2/3) and x=3
Katyanochek1 [597]
You can't. If you think about the straight line on a graph, those numbers
describe a single point that the line goes through, and they don't tell you
anything about the slope of the line, or where it crosses the x-axis or the
y-axis.  So I don't think you can tell the constant of variation from one point.

Solve this problem using the proper formula. A carpenter is building a bookcase the perimeter of the top is 108 in. What length
lapo4ka [179]
Assuming the length is y and the width is x
Perimeter = y + y + x + x
                = 2y +2x
                = 2 (y + x)
if the is 8 and the perimeter is 108
   108 = 2 (y +8)
    108/2 = y+8
    54    = y +8
    54 - 8 = y
    46 = y

Length = 46 inches
