Answer:

Option c. 30,000

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent an inverse variation if it can be expressed in the form y*x=k or y=k/x

Let

y ----> safe load in pounds

x ----> length in feet of a horizontal beam

we have

For x=15\ feet, y=2,000\ pounds

Remember that

k=y*x

substitute

k=2,000*15=30,000

denis23 [38]
I take it that only 7 stamps are misplaced and that we are asked for the total value of the stamps including those which have been misplaced. 
If each is worth $0.15 then, the total worth of 7 stamps is $1.05. Then, we add this value to the value of his remaining stamps, $5.55, the answer would be $6.60.

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Each will pay $61.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

How many gallons were used?

Each 100 miles, 3 + 1/4 = 3 + 0.25 = 3.25 gallons are used. The trip has 1500 miles.

100 miles - 3.25 gallons

1500 miles - x gallons

100x = 1500*3.25

x = \frac{1500*3.25}{100}

x = 48.75

Cost

Each gallons costs $3.80.

48.75 gallons cost 48.75*3.80 = $185.25

Split among the three friends envenly, how much will each pay?

185.25/3 = 61.75

Each will pay $61.75.
