Answer:

\frac{16}{9}  hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever 2 quantities (suppose a and b) are inversely proportional to each other, we can write an proportionality equation (with k as proportional constant) as:

a=\frac{k}{b}

Since, here t is INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL to r, we can say:

t=\frac{k}{r}

Firstly, we have t = 2 hour and r = 40 mph, so we find k:

t=\frac{k}{r}\\2=\frac{k}{40}\\k=2*40\\k=80

Now, secondly, we have r = 45 and k = 80, we need to find t:

t=\frac{80}{45}\\t=\frac{16}{9}

So, it would take  \frac{16}{9}  hours

1kg costs £1.28. what is the cost of 250g
vivado [14]
First, convert 1 kg to g.

1 kg = 1000 g

So 1000 g = 1.28

Set up a proportion:

1000/1.28 = 250/x

Cross multiply:

1000x = 320

Divide 1000 to both sides:

x = 0.32

So 250g costs £0.32

Write an equation os the line that passes through the givin points (-2,7) (3,-3)
ryzh [129]
(-2,7)(3,-3)
slope(m) = (-3-7) / (3 - (-2) = -10/(3 + 2) = -10/5 = -2

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -2
use either of ur points (-2,7)...x = -2 and y = 7
now sub and find b, the y int
7 = -2(-2) + b
7 = 4 + b
7 - 4 = b
3 = b

so ur equation is : y = -2x + 3 or 2x + y = 3

For the function f given by f(x)=2x-3, find and simplify the difference quotient f (x + h) − f (x) h​
Ber [7]

\text{Given that,}~ f(x) = 2x-3\\\\\text{Now,}\\\\~~\dfrac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}\\\\\\=\dfrac{2(x+h)  -3  - (2x-3)}{h}\\\\\\=\dfrac{2x+2h-3 -2x +3 }{h}\\\\\\=\dfrac{2h}{h}\\\\\\=2
