Hi there!

y ∝ x

∴ y = kx ---(i)
Where " k " is the constant of variation & k ≠ 0

Now to determine " k ".
Use the given condition that when :

• x = 4
• y = 20

Substitute th' respective values in Eqn. (i) :-

y = kx

⇒ 20 = k(4)

⇒ 4k = 20

⇒ k = \dfrac {20}{4} = 5

Hence,
The constant of variation for the relation is 5

~ Hope it helps!

Geetika bought 15.40m long cloth. The tailor cuts 11m and 5cm for dress and 2m 3 cm for a shirt and returned the remaining cloth
amm1812

Answer:

The length of cloth Geeka got is 2.32m

Step-by-step explanation:

The length Geetika got can be calculated by deducting the total length the tailor cuts from the initial length of the cloth.

Initial length of cloth = 15.40m

From the question, the tailor cuts 11m and 5cm for dress and 2m 3 cm for a shirt.

Therefore, the total length the tailor cut = 11m 5cm + 2m 3cm = 13m 8cm

NOTE: 13m 8cm = 13.08m

The length Geeka got = 15.40m - 13.08m = 2.32m

Hence, the length of cloth Geeka got is 2.32m

F = 1.8F + 32
F - 1.8F = 1.8F - 1.8F + 32
-0.8F = 32
-0.8F / -0.8= 32 / -0.8
F = -40
