a) The quantities vary directly

b) The constant of variation is 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets us revise the direct and inverse variation

  • If y varies x directly, then y = kx, that means the ratio between them is constant ( \frac{y}{x}=k ) , they increased together and decreased together, k is the constant of variation
  • If y varies x inversely, then yx = k, that means when x increased y must be decrease ( y=\frac{k}{x} ) k is the constant of variation

∵ 16 factory workers made 40 pieces in a certain amount of time

- If the number of worker increased, then the number of pieces

   increased in the same certain time, if the number of worker

   decreased, then the number of pieces also decrease in the

   same certain time

∴ The the number of workers and the number of pieces produce

   vary directly

∴ Number of pieces produced = k × number of worker

a) The quantities vary directly

∵ The number of worker = 16

∵ The number of pieces produced = 40

- Substitute these values in the equation of variation above

∴ 40 = k × 16

- Divide both sides by 16

∴ k = 2.5

b) The constant of variation is 2.5

Point P is located at (−2, 7), and point R is located at (1, 0). Find the y value for the point Q that is located two over three
irinina [24]

Answer:

  7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The distances have the ratio ...

  (Q -P) = (2/3)(R -P)

  Q = P +(2/3)R -(2/3)P = (2R +P)/3

  Qy = (2Ry +Py)/3 = (2·0 +7)/3 = 7/3

The area of a pizza is 220 square centimeters .
Zanzabum
Area of pizza = pi × r^2
pi × r^2 = 220 Sq. cm
22/7 × r^2 =220
r^2 = 220 × 7/22
r^2 = 70
r = square root of 70
r = 8.36

therefore , radius of the pizza is 8.36 cm

A rectangular prism has a top face with an area of 20 ft2 and a height of 5 ft. What is the volume of this rectangular prism? Th
kkurt [141]

Answer:

the volume of the rectangular prism is 100 ft³  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

area of top face of a rectangular prism, A = 20 ft²

height of the rectangular prism, h = 5 ft

Volume of the rectangular prism =  Area of top face x height of the rectangular prism

Volume of the rectangular prism = A x h

Volume of the rectangular prism = 20 ft² x  5 ft

                                                       = 100 ft³

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 100 ft³
