Answer:

1850

Step-by-step explanation:

You would set up a proportion that 2/100 = 37/x. You would cross multiply and get 2x = 3700. You would then divide 3700 by 2 and get 1850.

The function f(x) varies inversely with x and f(x)=8 when x=3

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

$12$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent an inverse variation if it can be expressed in the form $y*x=k$ or $y=k/x$

In this problem we have

For $x=3$ -----> $f(x)=8$

so

Find the value of k

$f(x)*x=k$

substitute the value of x and f(x)

$8*3=k$

$k=24$

therefore

the equation is equal to

$f(x)=24/x$

For $x=2$ -------> substitute in the equation and find the value of f(x)

$f(x)=24/2=12$

Arada [10]

Answer: $64\ ft^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The dimension of the box is

$\text{width w=}8\ ft\\\text{height h=}2\ ft\\\text{length l=}4\ ft$

Space occupied by the box is equal to its volume i.e.

$\Rightarrow V=l\times b\times h\\\Rightarrow V=4\times 8\times 2\\\Rightarrow V=64\ ft^3$

The volume of the box is $64\ ft^3$ .
