It was stated in the problem that a given volume of a is inversely proportional with the pressure of the system. It means that the as the volume increases, the pressure would decrease and as the volume decreases, the pressure would increase. We would express it as:

V α 1/P

To change it to an equality, we introduce a proportionality constant, k. We do as follows:

V = k/P

So, to determine what is asked, we need to first calculate for the value of k.

V = k/P
At V = 160 m^3 P = 108 cmHg
160 = k / (108)
k = 17280

Thus, at P = 87 cmHg 
V = 17280 / 87 
V = 198.62 m^3

Jack's mother gave him 50 chocolates to give to his friends at his birthday party. He gave 3 chocolates to each of his friends a
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

16 friends

Step-by-step explanation:

Right at the beginning, you can take the 2 chocolates Jack was left with out of the 50 chocolates Jack had at the beginning. That equals 48 chocolate bars, so we know that Jack gave his friends a total if 48 chocolates

50 - 2 = 48

Now that you have the number 48, you are really close to the answer.

If you know that he gave each if his friends 3 chocolates, you can make that into an equation and put it into a calculator. That would look like this:

48 \div 3 = 16

The reason you do 48 ÷ 3 is because Jack divided his 48 chocolates into groups of 3 to give to each of the other kids.

You get the answer 16, which means the answer is 16 kids at his friend's birthday party.

For the line y = 2/5x, if the y-coordinate is 20, what is the x-coordinate? A. 5/2 B. 50 C. 125 D. 8
kykrilka [37]
Ok here is how you do this:
you need to replace y with 20 and then solve to find x, i.e. solve this equation
20=2/5x

1. Simplify 2/5x to 2x/5
   20=2x/5

2. Multiply both sides by 5
    20 * 5=2x

3. Simplify 20 * 5 to 100
    100=2x

4. Divide both sides by 2
   100/2=x

5. Simplify 100/2 to 50
     50=x

6. Switch sides
     x=50
so your answer is B. 50
I hope this helped!

Assume that two marbles are drawn without replacement from a box with 1 blue, 3 white, 2 green, and 2 red marbles. Find the prob
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

second marble is blue and  first marble is white is  \frac{1}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

two marbles

box = 1 blue, 3 white, 2 green, and 2 red marbles

                                                                           

solution

we get here second marble is blue and given that the first marble is white

= P(3c1 × 1c1) ÷ P(3c1 × 7c1)          ................................................1

= 1c1 ÷ 7c1

= 1 ÷ 7

so second marble is blue and  first marble is white is  \frac{1}{7}
