Answer: Second option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of sixth graders students = 160

Number of seventh graders students = 180

Number of eighth graders students = 140

If 9 seventh graders were part of a random sample of the population chosen to participate in a survey.

Let Number of sixth graders should be chosen be 'x'.

Since there will be direct proportion .

\frac{180}{9}=\frac{160}{x}\\\\20=\frac{160}{x}\\\\x=\frac{160}{20}\\\\x=8

Hence, Second option is correct.

An airplane takes 3 hours to travel a distance of 1680 miles with the wind. The return trip was 4 hours against wind. Find the s
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Speed of plane in still air: 490  mile/hour

speed of wind: 70  mile/hour

Step-by-step explanation:

still speed = x        wind speed = w

with wind: speed = still + wind

(x+w) * 3 = 1680     ...a

against wind: speed = still - wind

(x-w) * 4 = 1680    ...b

b-a ... 4x-4w-3x-3w = 0

x-7w = 0

x = 7w

substitution: (7w+w)*3 = 1680      8w = 560       wind speed (w) = 70

still speed (x) = 7w = 490 mile/hour

Determine whether y varies directly with x. If so, find the constant of variation k and write the equation
nydimaria [60]

y/x = k

6.4/4 = 1.6

11.2 / 7 =1.6

16/10 = 1.6

20.8 /13 =1.6


This is a direct variation and the constant is 1.6

y=1.6x
