Answer:

For the case when x = 8, we have that y = 2/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The idea that y varies directly as x, can be written in an equation as:

y = k*x, where k is an unknown constant (until now).

We know that y=6 when x=72, then, substituting these values in the above formula gives us the value of k:

6 = k*72, then: k = 6/72 = 1/12.

Now, we can rewrite our initial expression with the known value of k as:

y = (1/12)*x

For the case when x = 8, we have that:

y = (1/12)*8 = 8/12 = 2/3.

Brain was asked to round 4.44 to the nearest tenth and said it was 4.5 Is he correct?Why or Why not?
Annette [7]
Brian (I think you meant Brian haha..) is incorrect because the tenth place is the number right after the decimal which is a 4. If you are rounding to the tenth place that means that you have to look at the number to the right of that, which is 4. 5 and up means you round up and 4 and down means you round down. This is a 4, so you keep the 4 after the decimal and get rid of the last 4. Therefore, when rounded it would be: 4.4.
Hope this helped! Good luck! :)

Angle AOC = 46°   Find angle BPO

We have congruent right triangles PAO and PBO, right angles A and B.

So AOC=BOC=46 degrees,

PBO is a right angle so BPO is complementary to BOC, so 42 degrees

Answer: 42 degrees
