Answer:
2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Y varies directly as x
Y =kx
Y=6 when x = 72
First find the relationship between y and x.
i.e find the value of k
Substitute the value of x and y
6 = k *72
Make k the subject of the formula
K = 6/72
K= 1/12
:. The rlationship between x and y is
Y = 1/12x
When x is 8
Y = 1/12 * 8
Y = 8/12
Y = 2/3 and that is the answer
Hope it helped you
so confusing i really need help with this math
X=width of the lake
y=length of the lake.
we set out this system of equiations
x*y=9/20
x=y/5
we solve by sustitution method
(y/5)*y=9/20
y²/5=9/20
y²=(5*9)/ 20
y²=2.25
y=√2.25=1.5
x=y/5
x=1.5/5=0.3
Solution:
width of the lake=0.3 miles
lenght of the lake=1.5 miles
