if the value of x varies directly as the value of y , and x = 16 when y = 3/4 , what is the value of x when y = 3/8 ?

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

If the value of x varies directly as the value of y we can say they are directly proportional. This implies that when y increases x will increase too, and when y decreases x will also decrease.

If x=16 when y=3/4 we can write their relation as:

x/y = 16/(3/4) = 16*(4/3) = 64/3

So, for every value of y, the ratio x/y must maintain equal to 64/3 because both values are proportional.

Now we can see what happens to x when y varies. If y=3/8:

x/(3/8) = 64/3

Multiply both sides by 3/8 to eliminate the 3/8 in the denominator.

x/(3/8) * (3/8) = (64/3) * (3/8)

See that we have a 3 multiplying and another dividing, we can eliminate them.

x = 64/8

x = 8

So, if y decreases to 3/8 x will decrease to 8. Notice that y is decreasing in a half as 3/8 is the half of 3/4, and x is also decreasing in a half from 16 to 8, what makes sense.

A film lasts 2 hours and 35 minutes. Greg is going out at 8.15 . If he starts watching the film at 5.30 will he have time to war
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Yes, he will have enough time to watch the entire film.

Step-by-step explanation:

5:30 to 6:30 is 1 hour of the movie completed.

6:30 to 7:30 is 2 hours completed.

7:30 plus 30 minutes brings him to 8:00.

8:00 plus the additional 5 minutes brings Greg to 8:05.

His movie ends at 8:05, so he will be able to watch the entire movie before going out.

1 + 5sin^2x= 7sin^2x solve trig equation. Can you show me how to solve this trig equation?
pantera1 [17]

Answer: x = \frac{\pi}{4}\pm k\frac{\pi}{2}\,\,\,\,\,\,k=\{0,1,2,...\}

Step by step:

1 + 5\sin^2x= 7\sin^2x\\\sin^2 x\rightarrow z\\1 + 5z = 7z\\2z = 1\\z = \frac{1}{2}\implies \sin^2 x = \frac{1}{2}\\|\sin x| = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\\\sin x = \pm\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\pm\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\\\implies x = \frac{\pi}{4}\pm k\frac{\pi}{2}\,\,\,\,\,\,k=\{0,1,2,...\}

Whitepunk [10]

Answer: The greatest number of rows Li Na can plant is 9.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Li Na is going to plant 63 tomato plants and 81 rhubarb plants.

Li Na would like to plant the plants in rows where each row has the same number of tomato plants and each row has the same number of rhubarb plants.

To find the greatest number of rows Li Na can plant, we need to find the GCF of 63 and 81.

Since , 63=7\times9\ and\ 81=8\times9

Clearly, GCF(63,81)=9

Therefore, the greatest number of rows Li Na can plant is 9.
