Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1 ) Y∝ 1 / X
Y = k / X
Y = 9 , X = -5
Putting the values in the relation above
9 = k / - 5
k = -45
Y = - 45 / X
Put Y = - 6
- 6 = - 45 / X
X = - 45 / -6
= 7.5
2 )
Luke and Nora can peel 12 carrots in 5 minutes
in 1 minute Luke and Nora can peel 12 / 5 carrot
in 1 minute Luke alone can peel 12/ 11 carrot .
In 1 minute Nora alone will peel (12 / 5 - 12/ 11 ) carrot
(12 / 5 - 12 / 11 )
= 2.4 - 1.1
= 1.3 carrot
In 1 minute Nora alone will peel 1.3 carrot
1.3 carrot in 1 minute
8 carrot in 8 / 1.3 minute
= 6.15 minutes.
In 1 minute Nora alone will peel 8 carrot in 6.15 minutes working alone.
