See the plants grow in airthemetic progression.
day 1 its is 1 and day 2 it is 2, day 3 it is 4.......
so,
1,2,4,6,8,......
so it take 48 days to fill the pond..
total plants = 48/2(2*1+(48-1)*2)
total plants= 2304
so half the plants is 1152
so,
1152=n/2(2*1+(n-1)2)
n=47
it so 47 days to complete half the pond.

So the answer is 47 days

If y varies directly as x, and y =15 as x= -3, find y for the x-value of 6.
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

the answer is -30.

Step-by-step explanation:

for each x-value, you will multiply it by -5 to get your y-value. i say this because if y-15 when x=-3, if you divide the x from y (so 15/-3) you get -5 which is the number in which y varies by. so you will take 6 and multiply it by -5 which gives you -30.

.The conversion of square feet to square yards can be represented by direct variation. Three square yards are equivalent to 27 s
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

The constant of variation is 1/9

The equation representing the direct variation is y/x= 1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

In direct variation, y/x=k denotes the equation, with k being the constant of variation. Here, y is the number of square yards and x is the number of square feet. Therefore, as we know that 27 square feet = 3 square yards, we can write one point (x₁, y₁) as (27 square feet, 3 square yards). Plugging x₁ and y₁ into our equation, we get

y/x = k

3 / 27 = k

(3/27) / (3/3) = 1/9* = k

Therefore, the constant of variation is 1/9

Next, as stated previously, y/x = k represents the equation of direct variation. Therefore, y / x = 1/9 as our equation

* because 3 is a factor of both 3 and 27, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by 3 to keep the fraction the same but also simplify it. One way to find the greatest common factor is to list the factors of each number and see the highest number that is a factor of both
