Answer:

4 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of lumber = 9 feet

How many 2 1/4 foot pieces can you cut from this piece of lumber

To find the number of 2 1/4 foot pieces of lumber in a 9 feet of lumber, we will divide the total length of lumber by the length of each piece of lumber

9 ÷ 2 1/4

= 9 ÷ 9/4

= 9 × 4/9

= 36/9

= 4 pieces of lumber

Therefore, 4 pieces of 2 1/4 foot of lumber can be gotten from 9 feet of lumber

Determine whether set of values represents an inverse variation. If yes, identify the constant of variation and write an inverse
Natasha_Volkova [10]

SOLUTION

If the table represents an inverse variation, it means that y is inversely proportional to x, written as

\begin{gathered} y\propto\frac{1}{x} \\ \propto is\text{ a sign of proportionality } \end{gathered}

Removing the proportionality sign and introducing a constant k, we have

\begin{gathered} y=k\times\frac{1}{x} \\ y=\frac{k}{x} \end{gathered}

In the first column, we have x = -4 and y = 3.5. Substituting these values for x and y, we have

\begin{gathered} y=\frac{k}{x} \\ 3.5=\frac{k}{-4} \\ k=3.5\times-4 \\ k=-14 \end{gathered}

So, if it's an inverse variation, the relationship would be

y=\frac{-14}{x}

In the second column, x = -2 and y = 7.

Now lets substitute the value of x for -2. If we get y to be 7, then the relationship is an inverse variation

We have

\begin{gathered} y=\frac{-14}{x} \\ y=\frac{-14}{-2} \\ y=7 \end{gathered}

Since we got y = 7, the relationship is therefore an inverse variation.

The constant k = -14

The equation for the inverse variation is

y=\frac{-14}{x}

Martha is training for a duathlon, which includes biking and running. She knows that yesterday she covered a total distance of o
umka21 [38]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>Distance:</u> 6x + 15.5y > 55.5

<u>Time:</u> x + y > 4.5

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given that Martha is training for a duathlon and she covered a total distance of over 55.5 miles in more than than 4.5 hours of training.

Also, she runs at a speed of 6 mph and bikes at a rate of 15.5 mph.

We are to write inequalities representing the distance she traveled and the total time she spent training.

<u>Distance:</u> 6x + 15.5y > 55.5

(formula for distance = speed x time so speeds for running and biking are multiplied by their number of hours)

<u>Time:</u> x + y > 4.5

(she trained for more than 4.5 hours, x hours for running and y hours for biking.
