There would be 3 and 1/2 pounds left.
2/3 x 2 = 4/6
5/6
5/6 + 4/6 = 6/6 (1) and 3/6 (1/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since y varies directly with x,
y = kx, where k is a real constant.
When x = 4, y = 32.
=> (32) = (4)k, k = 8.
Therefore when x = -2,
y = kx = (8)(-2) = -16.
Let w and l be the length and height of the rectangle.
We know that:

Substitute the first equation in the second:

Use the first equation to compute the length:

So, length = 7 cm; width = 6 cm
