The direct variation equation is:
d=kt
where d is the distance that the giraffe travels
k is the constant of variation
and t is time
Now we are told that the giraffe can travel 800 ft in 20 seconds, so we can solve for the constant of variation (k)
800=k(20) divide both sides by 20
k=40-------------and the units are ft per sec
So now we can write
d=40t
ck
d=40t
800ft=40*20 ft
800 ft= 800 ft
Hope this helps!
This got extremely messy so I apologize but I believe the correct answer is 80 cm³
Answer:
10 buses are needed.
9 buses will only be able to take 468 people.
Explanation:
There are 461 + 20 = 481 people altogether needing transport. Each bus can take at most 52 people. The number of buses needed =
482 ÷ 52.
482 ÷ 52 = 9.25 buses. You might be tempted to round down to 9 buses (because of the 2 that follows the decimal) However, if there are 9 buses,
9 × 52 = 468 people can be taken There will still be
13 people to be transported. This is an example of where you need to round UP to the next whole number.
10 buses are needed. In reality it means that not all the buses will be full, but 10 buses are needed to ensure that everyone gets a ride to the museum.
