Answer:

k = 48

For x = 6, y = 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation for inverse variation is

y = k/x

We are told that y = 24 when x = 2, so we plug in those two values in the general equation to find the value of k.

24 = k/2

k = 24 * 2 = 48

Now that we know k = 48, the equation for our case is

y = 48/x

Now we plug in x = 6 and find y.

y = 48/x

y = 48/6

y = 8

How to solve which fraction is larger 10/13 or 11/14 or 14/15 or 17/18

alexandr402 [8]

To solve these type of problem you have to make the denominator the same or use the claculator.

let us do this problem by making the denominator the same.

$\frac{10}{13} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \frac{11}{14} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \frac{14}{15} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \frac{17}{18} \\\\ \frac{10}{13}\times \frac{3780}{3780} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \frac{11}{14} \times \frac{3510}{3510} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \frac{14}{15} \times \frac{3276}{3276} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \frac{17}{18} \times \frac{2730}{2730}$

$\frac{37800}{49140} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \frac{38610}{49140} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \frac{45864}{49140} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \frac{46410}{49140}$

So, now. the one with the largest numerator is the largest fraction

In this case, $\frac{46410}{49140}$ is the largest which is equal to $\frac{17}{18}$ .

So, the largest fraction is $\frac{17}{18}$ .

a rental car agency charges 190 per a week plus .25 per mile to rent a car. How many miles can you travel in one week for 370

alekssr [168]

Let m represent the number of miles traveled. If the whole budget amount of 370 is spent, then ...

... 190 + 0.25m = 370

... 0.25m = 280

... m = 280/0.25 = 1120

For 370, you can travel 1120 miles.
