Answer:

Brett can put \frac{5}{8}  = 0.625 pounds in each bird cage.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of bird seed left = 2\frac{1}{2} pounds

=\frac{5}{2} pounds

Number of birds in pet shop  = 4

So, the share of each bird = \frac{\textrm{Total available seeds}}{\textrm{Total number of birds in the pet shop}}

= \frac{\frac{5}{2} }{4}  = \frac{5}{2}  \times \frac{1}{4}  = \frac{5}{8}

Hence, Brett can put  \frac{5}{8}   = 0.625 pounds in each bird cage.

Suppose a and b vary inversely, and b = 8 when a = 6. Write a function that models the variation and find b when a = 30. Explain
ICE Princess25 [194]
1. If a and b vary inversely and b = 8 when a = 6:
b = k/ a
8 = k / 6
k = 6 * 8
k = 48
Function is:
b = 48 / a
2. When a = 30:
b = 48 / 30 = 8/5
b = 1.6

labwork [276]

Answer:

When you deposit money in a bank, the bank usually pays you for the use of your money. When you take out a loan from a bank, you have to pay the bank for the use of their money. In both cases, the money paid is called the interest. It is usually expressed as a percent. Here we shall look at a formula for simple interest.
