The variable Z is directly proportional to X, and inversely proportional to Y. When X is 3 and Y is 6, Z has the value 9.5. What

is value of Z when X =8, & Y= 12
*****PLEASE HELP**********

This is the concept of proportionality, given that z is directly proportional to x and inversely proportional to y then:
zαx/y
z=(kx)/y
where;
k is the constant of proportionality given by:
k=zy/x
but when x=3 and =6 then z=9.5
therefore:
k=(9.5*6)/3
k=19
hence the formula for z will be:
z=(19x)/y
the value of z when x=8 and y=12 will be:
z=(19*8)/12
z=12 2/3

Answer: The percent of the total was spent on veterinarian bills is 27.70% ( approx).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, In 2011, Americans spent approximately $50.9 billion on their pets.

i.e. Total amount they spent on pets = $50.9 billion

Amount spent for veterinarian bills. = $14.1 billion was for veterinarian bills.

Then, the percent of the total was spent on veterinarian bills would be :

$\dfrac{\text{Amount spent for veterinarian bills. }}{\text{Total amount they spent on pets}}\times100\\\\=\dfrac{14.1}{50.9}\times100\\\\=27.7013752456\approx27.70\%$

Hence, the percent of the total was spent on veterinarian bills is 27.70% (approx).

Answer:

13, 11, 4, 16, 6, 22

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Let the second digit be x and the last digit be y</em>

Given:

Data set: 13, x, 4, 16, 6, y
Mean = 12
y = 2x or x = 2y

The mean of the data is the average. The average can be calculated by determining the sum of the terms and dividing it by the total digits.

$\implies \text{Mean of data:} \ \dfrac{13 + x + 4 + 16 + 6 + y}{6} = 12$

Let us substitute the value of y (2x) in the data.

$\implies \dfrac{13 + x + 4 + 16 + 6 + 2x}{6} = 12$

Now, add all the terms in the data and simplify.

$\implies \dfrac{39 + x +2x}{6} = 12$

$\implies \dfrac{39 + 3x}{6} = 12$

Distribute the denominators and simplify.

$\implies \dfrac{39}{6} + \dfrac{3x}{6} = 12$

$\implies \dfrac{13}{2} + \dfrac{x}{2} = 12$

$\implies 6.5 + \dfrac{x}{2} = 12$

Subtract 6.5 both sides and simplify.

$\implies 6.5 + \dfrac{x}{2} - 6.5 = 12 - 6.5$

$\implies \dfrac{x}{2} = 5.5$

Use cross multiplication and simplify.

$\implies x= 5.5 \times 2$

$\implies x= 11$

To determine the value of "y", simply substitute the value of "x" into the expression that represents the value of "y".

$\implies y = 2x$

$\implies y = 2(11)$

$\implies y = 22$

When the x and y values are substituted in the data, we get;

⇒ 13, 11, 4, 16, 6, 22

Therefore, the data is 13, 11, 4, 16, 6, 22.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope between two given points you use the equation:

$m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

(8,10) are $(x_{1},y_{1})$

(16,24) are $(x_{2},y_{2})$

After that you just plug in:

$m=\frac{24-10}{16-8}$

$m=\frac{14}{8}$

Simplify:

<h2><u><em></em></u> $m= \frac{7}{4}$ <u><em></em></u></h2>

Answer:

The slope is $\frac{7}{4}$ for #1
