Answer:
y=40
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for Direct Variation is y=kx or k=y/x. In this case I would use k=y/x. If you're y is 8 and x is 3, this means that K=8/3. Using this, we know that X=15. We have to find a Y value so that the fraction with an x of 15 simplified is 8/3. To do this you would write 8/3 and y/15. Now cross multiply to get 3y=120. Divide by 3 to get y=40.

Answer: the answers are below
Step-by-step explanation:
1 meal = 2/3 of a can of wet dog food, 1/8 of a bag of dry dog food, and 3/5 a patty of special meat
Food for 1 day: 2 meals = 2(2/3) = 4/3 of a can of wet dog food, 2(1/8) = 1/4 of a bag of dry dog food, and 2(3/5) = 6/5 a patty of special meat
The trainer goes to the store and buys 24 cans of wet food, 4 bags of dry food and 3 packages of meat (3*6 = 18 patties)
He has:
there is wet food for: 24/(4/3) = 24*3/4 = 18 days
there is dry food for: 4/(1/4) = 4*4 = 16 days
there is special meat food for: 18/(6/5) = 18*5/6 = 15 days
since the minimum for 15, 16 and 18 is 15 the dog will have food for 15 days and first he will run out of special meat.
We know that there are 7 days in a week, so just divide 68 ÷ 7 and you should get 9.71 which is approximately 10 weeks
Answer: It would equal 1/27.
Step-by-step explanation: Any number raised to a negative exponent, essentially means you reciprocal to get rid of the negative. After that, you do the math for the number in the denominator, without considering the negative sign. You could also do it the other way, do the function first without the negative, 3^3 is 27 and then applying the negative, reciprocal it to 1/27.
