The number of items (N) that can be purchased for a given amount of money is inversely proportional to the cost (C) of an item.

If 480 items can be purchased when the cost per item is $4.90, how many items can be purchased when the cost per item is $5.40? Round to the nearest whole number.

Answer:

436 items

Step-by-step explanation:

When a quantity A is inversely proportional to another quantity B, we can write:

A=\frac{k}{B}

Where k is the proportionality constant  [that we need to find]

For this problem, we can write the ratio as:

N=\frac{k}{C}

Now given N = 480 and C = 4.90, we first find k:

N=\frac{k}{C}\\480=\frac{k}{4.90}\\k=4.90*480\\k=2352

Now, as second step, we need this time to find N, when

C = 5.40

Note, we know know k = 2352, so we find N:

N=\frac{k}{C}\\N=\frac{2352}{5.40}\\N=435.55

Rounding to next whole number, we have 436 items

Which sets of ratios are a proportion? (Choose all that apply) *
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

<h2>Sets of Ratios that are Proportion</h2>

3/11 and 17/6

<h3>12/7 and 36/21</h3>

60/55 and 7/25

7/6 and 52/48

<h3>4/10 and 8/20</h3>

<h3>Solution:</h3>

> 12/7 and 36/21

\frac{12}{7}  =  \frac{36}{21}  \\ 12(21) = 36(7) \\ 252 = 252

> 4/10 and 8/20

\frac{4}{10}  =  \frac{8}{20}  \\ 4(20)  = 8(10) \\ 80 = 80

Firewood can be sold in cords. the wood is cut into equal lengths and stacked evenly in a rack. which geometric shape can be use
Nadya [2.5K]

To estimate the volume of the chord of wood, since the wood exists cut into equal lengths and stacked evenly in a rack then we can use a cylinder as a model.

<h3>What is a cylinder?</h3>

In mathematics, a cylinder exists as a three-dimensional solid that holds two parallel bases joined by a curved surface, at a fixed distance. These bases exist normally circular (like a circle) and the center of the two bases exists joined by a line segment, which exists named the axis.

A cylinder exists as a closed solid that contains two parallel circular bases joined by a curved surface.

To calculate the volume of the chord of wood, since the wood exists cut into equal lengths and stacked evenly in a rack then we can use a cylinder as a model.
