Answer:

An equation for the inverse variation y = 2 when x = 5 is:

y=10/x

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that y varies inversely with x:

y=k/x

Write an equation for the inverse variation y = 2 when x = 5

Substituting y by 2 and x by 5 in the formula above:

2=k/5

Solving for k: Multiplying both sides of the equation by 5:

5(2)=5(k/5)

10=k

k=10

Then the equation is:

y=k/x

y=10/x

What is 5 3/4 times 2/6? I am doing math homework and need help
Jobisdone [24]
53/4•2/6=1 11/12
Because you must turn 5 3/4 into an improper fraction. So 23/4•2/6. Next you are able to cross reduce because 2 goes into 2 and four so now you have 23/2•1/6 now just multiply across. 2•6=12 and 23•1=23 so now you have 23/12 which equals

Solve for x.<br> 5<br> 10<br> 12<br> 13
zysi [14]

Answer: B)  4 & 1/6

Nice work on getting the correct answer.

============================================================

Explanation:

x is opposite the marked acute angle

5 is opposite the corresponding acute angle

So x and 5 are proportional to each other. We can form the ratio x/5

Similarly, 10 and 12 are proportional to one another. We can form the ratio 10/12.

Set those ratios equal to each other and solve for x

x/5 = 10/12

12x = 5*10 ... cross multiply

12x = 50

x = 50/12 ...... divide both sides by 12

x = (25*2)/(6*2)

x = 25/6

x = (24+1)/6

x = 24/6 + 1/6

x = 4 + 1/6

x = 4 & 1/6 which shows why <u>choice B</u> is the answer.

Side note: 25/6 = 4.167 approximately
