This question wants you to divide 32 tables by 6 students which is 5.3333. Since 5 tables is not enough, 6 tables are needed.
(I'm guessing you mean ton)
10 ton = 20,000 pounds
Answer:
k = 42
the constant of proportionality in this inverse variation is 42.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of people that want cake
And y the number of slices each can have;
Since x is inversely proportional to y;
x = k/y .....1
Where k is the proportionality constant;
To solve for k, we will substitute any of the case scenario given into equation 1.
If 14 people want cake, then they can each have 3 slices;
x = 14 , y = 3
substituting;
14 = k/3
k = 14 × 3 = 42
k = 42
the constant of proportionality in this inverse variation is 42.
Therefore,
x = 42/y
Since ad, bc, and bd are integers since integers are closed under the operation of multiplication and ad-bc is an integer since integers are closed under the operation of subtraction, then (ad-bc)/bd is a rational number since it is in the form of 1 integer divided by another and the denominator is not eqaul to 0
B has more because 10/5 is 2 and 8/12 is less
