1) x = 2.5 when y = -5

2) x = 0.25 when y = - 1

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that , we have to use direction variation formula.

Now, we know that, direct variation formula is y = kx, where k is proportionality constant.

1) If y=4 when x= -2, find x when y= -5  

Put y = 4 and x = -2 in y = kx  

4 = k(-2)  

k = - 2

Then, when y = -5  

-5 = (- 2)x  

x = 5/2  

x = 2.5

2) If y=20 when x = -5, find x when y= -1

Put y = 20 and x = -5 in y = kx  

20 = k(-5)  

k = - 4

Then, when y = -1  

-1 = (- 4)x  

x = 1/4  

x = 0.25

Hence, 1) x = 2.5 when y = -5 and 2) x = 0.25 when y = - 1

If 49, out of 175 people like cookies, what is the probability of 1200 people who will like cookies
zhannawk [14.2K]

I'm not really sure, but I believe the probability of 1,200 people liking cookies would be 336 people.

In order to solve this you would have to divide 1200 by 175 and take your answer and multiply that by 49.
