A team of runners is needed to run a 1 3 -mile relay race. If each runner must run 1 9 mile, how many runners will be needed?

Answer:

  3 runners

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of runners needed is the length of the race divided by the length each runner can run:

  (1/3 mi)/(1/9 mi/runner) = 9/3 runner = 3 runners

_____

There are a couple of ways you can divide fractions:

  → "invert and multiply." That is, multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator. Here, that is (1/3)(9/1) = 9/3 = 3

  → make the denominators the same and use the ratio of the numerators. Here that is (1/3)/(1/9) = (3/9)/(1/9) = 3/1 = 3

  → use a calculator (see attached)

Suppose that Y varies directly with X andY equals 12 when X equals -2 what is X when Y equals -6
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

A direct variation equation has the following format:

y=kx

Where k is a constant.

We know that y is 12 when x is -2. Thus, substitute:

12=-2k

Divide both sides by -2:

k=-6

So, our direct variation equations is:

y=-6x

To find what x is when y equals -6, substitute in -6 for y:

-6=-6x

Divide both sides by -6:

x=1

So, our answer is 1 :)

Answer:

y = -2x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: find the slope

y = 1/2x + 5

The equation of the line is

y = mx + c

m - slope

m = 1/2

Note : if two lines are perpendicular to the other, both lines are negative reciprocal of each other

m = -2

Step 2 : using a point slope form

y - y1 = m( x - x1)

( 2 , 5)

x1 = 2

y1 = 5

y - 2 = -2( x - 5)

y - 2 = -2x + 10

y = -2x + 10 + 2

y = -2x + 12

The equation of the line is

y = -2x + 12

I dunno the answer so I just found another answer I found in here for this question:P
