Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

A quantity h varies directly with w and inversely with p.

i.e. h ∝ w/p

Let k be the constant of variation

then, h = kw/p

h = 2, w = 4, and p = 6

We have to find the value of k

2 = 4k/6

Multiplying both sides by 6, we get

12 = 4k

dividing both sides by 4, we get

k = 3

Hence, Constant of variation is:

3

H α w/p

h = kw/p          where k = constant of variation.

h*p = kw

hp/w = k

k = hp/w

k = 2*6/4

k = 3

Constant of variation = 3.

Peggy had three times as many quarters as nickels. She had $1.60 in all. How many nickels and how many quarters did she have? Wh
svlad2 [7]
Let q and n represent the number of quarters and nickels respectively.

q=3n and .05n+.25q=1.6  These are the conditions in mathematical terms.

To solve, use the value of q from the first equation in the second equation to get:

.05n+.25(3n)=1.6  carry out indicated multiplication on left side

.05n+.75n=1.6  combine like terms on left side

.8n=1.6  divide both sides by .8

n=2, since q=3n

q=6

So Peggy had 2 nickels and 6 quarters.

How do you find the solution to this inequality? please explain to me step by step how to do this
Lapatulllka [165]
She had bread for the hungry, clothes for the naked, and comfort for every mourner, that came within her reach. Slavery soon proved its ability to divest of her heavenly qualities. Under its influence the tender heart became stone, and the lamb-like disposition gave way to one of the tiger-like fierceness. From the excerpt above, which statement best describes the changes in his mistress’s character? She was always loyal only to the laws and to her husband. He felt sorry for her since she was oppressed, too. The change in her character was inexcusable. She was unwilling to face the conflict of betraying her culture for her personal beliefs.

Nolan has some nickels and some dimes. He has no more than 19 coins worth no less than $1.30 combined. If Nolan has 5 nickels, d
Allushta [10]

Answer:

number of dimes 11 to 14

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

coin = 19

worth no less = $1.30

Nolan nickles = 5

solution

we convert 5 cent to dollars, it will be

5÷100 = $0.05

and

dime is worth 10 cents

so it will be 10 ÷ 100 = $0.1

so we consider here x as the number when nickels.

and we consider y as the number of dimes.

so here we can say

x + y ≤ 19      ..........................1

as here no less than $1.30 combined.

so

0.05 x + 0.1 y ≥ 1.3       ......................2

and

when Nolan has 5 nickels

put x = 5 in eq 1

5 + y ≤ 19  

y ≤ 19 - 5

y ≤ 14

and

now we put x = 5 in eq 2

0.05 × 5 + 0.1y ≥ 1.3

0.25 + 0.1y ≥ 1.3

0.1y ≥ 1.3 - 0.25

0.1y ≥ 1.05

y ≥ 10.5

so all possible values for the number of dimes 11 to 14

In △ABC, GE=27 in. What is the length of BE¯¯¯¯¯? Enter your answer in the box. 81 in. An acute triangle A B C is drawn. E is th
mariarad [96]
Recall that the centroid of a triangle (the point where the three medians intersect) divides each median into parts in the ratio 2:1, with the centroid being twice as close to the midpoint of a side as it is to the opposite vertex.

Thus, the ratio of segment EG to segment BG is 1 : 2

Therefore, given that segment EG = 27 in, then segment BG = 2(27) = 54 in. and segment BE = 27 + 54 = 81 in.
