4 0

Answer:

              X = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

y = k X for some fixed number constant k.

 

-5 = k (15)

 

k = -5/15 = -1/3

 

So y = (-1/3)X

 

When y = 3 ---> 3 = (-1/3)X

                        X = -9

elise takes 12 minutes to rake up and bag a pile of leaves her sister katherine takes twice as long, how many minutes would it t
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

80 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate and Time are inverses of each other

First,

Elise Time = 12

and

Katherine Time = 2 * 12 = 24

Their rates would be (inverses):

Elise Rate = 1/12

Katherine Rate = 1/24

Together their rate is 1/12 + 1/24 = 3/24

Now, the inverse of this rate would be the time it takes to complete 1 bag together, that is:

(3/24) ^ -1 = 24/3 = 8 minutes

So, 10 bags would take them:

8 * 10 = 80 minutes
