Let
x----------> the number of students
y---------> the time in minutes

we know that
<span>If the time varies inversely with the number of students
</span>so
y=k/x
for x=3
y=16 min
16=k/3---------> k=48

y=48/x
for x=2
y=48/2-------> y=24 minutes

the answer is
24 minutes

The sum of three numbers is 88. The first number is 8 more than the second. The third number is 3 times the second. What are the
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

The numbers are 24, 16 and 48

Step-by-step explanation:

For this equation you need to use all the information you have to add in 3 variables, use the information you have to connect them, so you only use one number. You’ll have the second number (x), the first number (x+8) and the third number (3x) now we use all of that to make an equation.

88=x+(x+8)+3x

Now you simplify the equation,

88=5x+8

Now get the x and it’s coefficient alone on one side

80=5x

Now divide both sides so the x is alone

x=16

Since the second number was x you know the second number

the first number is x+8 since x is 16 the first number is 24

The third number is 3 * x so the third number is 48.

So the numbers are 24, 16 and 48

If 2^a =0.5 and 5^b=125, what is the value of a^b +b^a?​
kifflom [539]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  -2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

  2^a = 0.5 = 2^-1   ⇒   a = -1

  5^b = 125 = 5^3   ⇒   b = 3

Then the expression a^b  +b^a is ...

  a^b +b^a = (-1)^3 +3^(-1) = -1 +1/3 = -2/3
