\bf \begin{array}{cccccclllll}&\\
\textit{something}&&\textit{varies directly to}&&\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\&\\
\textit{something}&=&{{ \textit{some value}}}&\cdot &\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\&\\
y&=&{{ k}}&\cdot&x&\\

&&  y={{ k }}x&\\
\end{array}& \\\\\\
\textit{we know that }
\begin{cases}
y=12\\
x=1.2
\end{cases}\implies y=kx\implies 12=k\cdot 1.2

solve for "k" to find "k", or the "constant of variation"

Direct variation is expressed as y = kx, where k is the constant of variation.

You are given that y = 12 and x = 1.2, so you can find k by substituting this into the direct variation equation:
y = kx
(12) = k(1.2)
k = 10

15 and 17 pls.. 15 points!!!!
Maurinko [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

15) 50 ÷ 2 = 25

17) Mean = 301, Mode = 40-50

(10+20) ÷ 2 = 15, (20+30) ÷ 2 = 25, (30+40) ÷ 2 = 35

(40+50) ÷ 2 = 45, (50+60) ÷ 2 = 55, (60+70) ÷ 2 = 65

(70+80) ÷ 2 = 75

• 15×4 = 60, 25×8 = 200, 35×10 = 350, 45×12 = 540

55×10 = 550, 65×4 = 260, 75×2 = 150

Mean = (60+200+350+540+550+260+150) ÷ 7

= 2110 ÷ 7

= 301.4285....

= 301

Gavin goes for a run at a constant pace of 9 minutes per mile. Ten minutes later, Lars goes for a run, along the same route, at
sweet [91]

Answer:  The answer is 35 minutes.


Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Gavin goes for a run at a constant pace of 9 minutes per mile and after 10 minutes, Lars started running along the same route, at a constant pace of 7 minutes per mile. We need to find the number of minutes Lars will take to reach Gavin.

In 9 minutes, distance run by Gavin = 1 mile.

So, in 1 minute, distance travelled by Gavin will be

d_G=\dfrac{1}{9}=\dfrac{7}{63}~\textup{miles}.

Similarly,

In 7 minutes, distance run by Lars = 1 mile.

So, in 1 minute, distance travelled by Lars will be

d_L=\dfrac{1}{7}=\dfrac{9}{63}~\textup{miles}.

Now, since Lars started after 10 minutes, so distance run by Gavin in those 10 minutes will be

d_{G10}=\dfrac{10}{9}=\dfrac{70}{63}~\textup{miles}.

Now, difference between Lars and Gavin's rate of runnings is

\dfrac{9}{63}-\dfrac{7}{63}=\dfrac{2}{63}.

Therefore, the time taken by Lars to reach Gavin is given by

t=\dfrac{\frac{70}{63}}{\frac{2}{63}}=35.

Thus, the required time is 365 minutes.
