The statements expresses as
w <span>∝ b
where w = body's weight, b = amount of blood

Changing it into a direct variation becomes
w = kb    or   k = w/b
where k = proportionality constant

We know that k is obviously constant, we equation it into two states as
w</span>₁/b₁ = w₂/b₂

Given that w₁ = 160 lb, b₁ = 4.6 qt, b₂ = 175, w₂ = 175 lb. Then b₂ will be
160/4.6 = 175/b₂
b₂ = 160/(4.6*175) = 160/805 = 0.20 quarts

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that amount of blood is directly linked to body weight of the person.

b\propto W

b=kW

\frac{b}{W}=k

b = Amount of blood

W = weight of the person

k = proportionality constant or constant of variation

1) Given that, person who weighs 160 lb has about 4.6 quart of blood.

b = 4.6 quart, W = 160 lb

k=\frac{b}{W}=\frac{4.6 quart}{160 lb}=0.02875 quart/lb

The constant of variation is of value 0.02875 quart/lb.

2) An equation that relates quarts of blood to weight:

b=0.02875 quart/lb\times W

3) If, b = ?,W = 175 lb

b=0.02875 quart/lb\times W

b=0.02875 quart/lb\times 175 lb=5.03125 quart

5.03125 quarts of blood are in the body of a 175-lb person.

A rectangle has an area of 40 square units. The length is 6<br> units greater than the width.
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Answer:

The width is 4 units, and the length is 10 units.

Step-by-step.

Step-by-step explanation:

area of rectangle = length * width

Let L = length; let W = width.

"The length is 6 units greater than the width.": L = W + 6

area = LW = 40

Since L = W + 6, we substitute L with W + 6.

(W + 6)W = 40

W^2 + 6W = 40

W^2 + 6W - 40 = 0

(W - 4)(W + 10) = 0

W - 4 = 0 or W + 10 = 0

W = 4 or W = -10

A width cannot be a negative number, so we discard the solution W = -10.

W = 4

L = W + 6 = 4 + 6 = 10

The width is 4 units, and the length is 10 units.

Round 789 to the nearest 10
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

  • Rounding 789 nearest to tens will be 790.

Step-step Explanation:

Let's know how to round any number nearest to tens (Rules):-

We know tens place in any no. from left is at second place and number right to tens place need to be changed as:-

  • If last digit is 0, then we don't have to do any rounding, because it is already to the ten.

  • We round the no. down to the nearest ten if the last digit in the no. is 1, 2, 3, or 4

  • We round the no. up to the nearest ten if the last digit in the no. is 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9.
