Answer:

18 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Sophie can peel all potatoes in 45 minutes, in 1 minute she can peel:

  • 1/45 of all the potatoes

Simon can peel all potatoes in 30 minutes, in 1 minute he can peel:

  • 1/30 of all the potatoes

Together, in 1 minute they can peel:

  • 1/45+1/30= 2/90+3/90= 5/90= 1/18 of all the potatoes

To peel all the potatoes they need:

  • 1 ÷ 1/18= 1 × 18= 18 minutes

So it will take them 18 minutes to peel all the potatoes

I'm not good with intigers, but if you added two negative intigers together wouldn't it still be negative? If you added -1 to -2 you'd get -3. It would always be less than the two original integers.

Answer:

y = -2x

Step-by-step explanation:

For direct variation:  y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.

Given that Y equals -12 when x equals 6, we have -12 = k(6).  Solve this for k by dividing both sides by 6:

k = -12/6 => k = -2

Then the "direct variation equation" here is y = -2x.
