Answer:
68/99
Step-by-step explanation:
.68686868686 repeating
Let x= .68686868668repeating
Multiply by 100
100x = 68.686868686repeating
Subtract x = .68686868repeating from this equation
100x = 68.686868686repeating
-x = .68686868repeating
------------------------------------------
99x = 68
Divide each side by 99
99x / 99 = 68/99
x = 68/99
Direct variation is y=kx where k is a constant
the fiest way to see if it is direct or not, is if x increases, then y increases as well,
then we see if y=kx is valid, basically if we have a constant of variation
the first one x increase and y increase
see if same constant
y=kx
-4.5=-3k
1.5=k
so
see next one
-1 and 3
-3=-1(k)
-3=-1(1.5)
-3=-1.5
false
not it
2nd is increase and y decrease, so not direct variation
3rd is x is same but y increase so nope
4th is x increase and y increase, now test the constant
-7.5=-3k
2.5=k
-1 and -2.5
-2.5=-1k
-2.5=-1(2.5)
-2.5=-2.5
true
answer is last option
Answer:
(A)6 kilometers
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we determine the value of a using Pythagoras Theorem.

Therefore:
Distance along the long route = 8 + 15 =23 km
Distance along the shortcut =17 km
Difference =23-17 =6km
Therefore, Mr. Jones bikes 6km less when he takes the shortcut instead of the long route.
