Answer:

Part A) 8\ workers

Part B) 10\ workers

Part C) 40\ workers

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form k=\frac{y}{x} or y=kx

Let

x -----> the number of workers

y ----> the number of pieces made

In this problem

The relation between the variables x and y represent a direct variation (proportional variation)

so

For x=16, y=40

Find the value of the constant of proportionality k

k=\frac{y}{x}

substitute the values

k=\frac{y}{x}

k=\frac{40}{16}\\k=2.5\ \frac{pieces}{worker}

The linear equation is equal to

y=2.5x

Part A) How many workers are needed to make 20 pieces

For y=20 pieces

substitute in the linear equation

20=2.5x

x=8\ workers

Part B) How many workers are needed to make 25 pieces

For y=25 pieces

substitute in the linear equation

25=2.5x

x=10\ workers

Part C) How many workers are needed to make 100 pieces

For y=100 pieces

substitute in the linear equation

100=2.5x

x=40\ workers

Tara wants to attend a four-year college to become a math teacher. Which statements explain the possible differences in total ye
Naddika [18.5K]
Answer:

- A public in-state college charges less for in-state tuition than for out-of-state tuition.
- Tara will most likely have to pay room and board expenses at an out-of-state public college, but might be able to commute to a public college in state.

Explanation:
If Tara wants to study out of state she could face higher tuition costs; public universities generally favor their residents with lower tuition costs, contrary to the charge for students who comes from other states.
Also, if she wants to study outside the state, Tara would have to analyze the costs of a residence and food that she will have to cover if she studies outside the state. On the contrary, if she studies in the state she could live with her family and only cover the transportation costs.

hope this helps!
