Answer:

v=16w

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that v varies directly as w, so

v=k⋅w

for some constant, k.

To determine the value of k, substitute the known values, v=8 when w=1/2, to find that

8=k⋅12

Multiplying by 2 gives k=16, so an equation that relates v and w is

v=16w

Answer:

v=kw. 8=k1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, so here's the equation. v=kw. Varies directly means if v rises, then w rises. If v decreases, then w will decrease. Let me know if that helps! (In case you need it, k=16.)

HELPPPPP! Points scored in a basketball game vary directly with shots taken. If a player scores 50 points , and takes 40 shots ,
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Points scored in a basketball game vary directly with shots taken.

This means that this question can be solved

by proportions, using a rule of three.

How many would she have scored if she takes 60 shots?

Using a rule of three:

50 points - 40 shots

x points - 60 shots

Applying cross multiplication:

4x = 50 × 60

Divide from both sides

x = 50 × 1.25 = 75

Answer is 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is a easier explanation if you didn't understand clearly:

It asked for how many 60 shots would score.

You would look at the first time he scored which is 50 and took 40 shots. Divide them

50 ÷ 40 = 1.25 or 1.5

So now you know each point scores 1.25 or 1.5

Now you multiply 1.25 or 1.5 with how many shots to see how much was scored and in this case 60 shots.

60 × 1.25 or 60 × 1.5

& They both end up equaling just the same, 75.

Hope it made sense :)
