Answer:

The value of second quantity is 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverse variation can be represented by the equation xy=k or y = \frac{k}{x} i.e,

y varies inversely as x , if there is some nonzero constant k such that, xy =k or y = \frac{k}{x} where  x≠0 and y≠0.

Given: Two quantities vary inversely.

Let x be the first quantity and y be the second quantity if they  vary inversely.

then, by definition of inverse variation;

y = \frac{k}{x}            .....[1]

Substitute the value of x=15 and y=18 to solve for k;

18= \frac{k}{15}

Multiply both sides by 15 we have;

15\times 18=15 \times \frac{k}{15}

Simplify:

k=270

now, find  the second quantity y using same method when x=10.

then;

after substituting the value of x=10 and k=270 in [1] ;

y = \frac{270}{10}

Simplify:

y= 27

Therefore, the second quantity value i.e,y = 27

Y = k/x

15 = k/18

270 = k


10 = 270 /x

10 x =  270

x = 27

the second number is 27

hope this helps

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 gallon = 3.78litres

hence if the acid is $33.19/gal

3.78 litres will be sold for $33.19

while

1 litre will be sold for $33.19/3.78

1 litre will be sold for $8.78

hence the cost per liter is $8.78

The product of two rational number is 7. If one of the number
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

7/12 OR 0.58 (2.d.p)

Step-by-step explanation:

Product means that the two rational numbers are being multiplied to get 7.

The question also tells us that one of them is 12. Therefore we can write an equation to express this information where we represent the unknown rational number using the letter 'r':

r x 12 = 7

Rearrange to find r:

r x 12 / 12 = 7 /12

r = 7/12 = 0.5833....

= 0.58 (2.d.p)

Hope this helped!

Select the expression that represents the simplified difference.
Setler79 [48]

The simplified expression for the given function is 2x + 4 - ( 1 / x-1). The correct option is A.

<h3>What is an expression?</h3>

The mathematical expression combines numerical variables and operations denoted by addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division signs.

Mathematical symbols can be used to represent numbers (constants), variables, operations, functions, brackets, punctuation, and grouping. They can also denote the logical syntax's operation order and other properties.

Given that the functions are f(x) = x + 2 and h(x) = 1 / x-1. The value of the function 2f(x) – h(x) will be calculated as,

E = 2f(x) – h(x)

E =  2( x + 2 ) - ( 1 / x-1)

E = 2x + 4 - (1/x-1)
