Determine whether quantities vary directly or inversely and find the constant of variation. 16 factory workers made 40 pieces in

a certain amount of time. How many workers are needed to make (a) 20, (b)25 and (c)100 pieces in the same amount of time, assuming each worker works at the same rate?

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

Vector has 4 Orange picks for every 3 green picks. If 8 of the picks are orange, how many picks are green?
padilas [110]

Answer:

6. im not sure though

Step-by-step explanation:

because if he picks 4 orange and 3 are green, then it means you multiply by 2 because 4*2=8, SO 3*2=6. again, im not sure if its right or not.

Identifying Possible Triangles
Masja [62]

Answer:

3rd triangle can be constructed with dimensions 2,6,7.

Step-by-step explanation:

sum of any two sides > third side.

difference of any two sides < third side

1.

8+5=13 not >14 (no triangle.)

2.

7+8=15 not >15 (no triangle)

3.

2+6=8>7

2+7=9>6

7+6=13>2

7-2=5<6

7-6=1<2

6-2=4<7

so it is a triangle.

4.

6+3=9 not >10 (not a triangle)

24 is 3 more than a number p
rewona [7]

Answer: 24 = 3 + P

Step-by-step explanation: 24 is 3 more than a number P can be represented in the equation form of 24 = 3 + P

To solve it:

3 + P = 24

3 - 3 + p = 24 -3

p = 21

Rewrite the following expression.
faust18 [17]

We have been given the expression

x^{\frac{9}{7}}

We have the exponent rule

x^{\frac{a}{b}}= x^{a^{(\frac{1}{b})}}

Using this rule, we have

x^{\frac{9}{7}}= x^{9^{(\frac{1}{7})}}

Now, using the fact that x^{\frac{1}{n}}=\sqrt[n]{x}, we get

x^{\frac{9}{7}}= \sqrt[7]{x^9}\\&#10;\\&#10;x^{\frac{9}{7}}=\sqrt[7]{x^7\times x^2}\\&#10;\\&#10;x^{\frac{9}{7}}=x\sqrt[7]{x^2}

D is the correct option.

An arc on a circle measures 250 degrees. Within range which range is the radian measure of the central angle?
blondinia [14]

If the arc measures 250 degrees then the range of the central angle lies from π to 1.39π.

Given that the arc of a circle measures 250 degrees.

We are required to find the range of the central angle.

Range of a variable exhibits the lower value and highest value in which the value of particular variable exists. It can be find of a function.

We have 250 degrees which belongs to the third quadrant.

If 2π=360

x=250

x=250*2π/360

=1.39 π radians

Then the radian measure of the central angle is 1.39π radians.

Hence if the arc measures 250 degrees then the range of the central angle lies from π to 1.39π.
