<span>Number of roses (r) in a garden increases when the number of weeds (w) decreases, this supports an inverse relationship between the two variables. 
The formula is then therefore, r = k/w
Solve for constant first.
r = k/w
20 = k/10
200 = k

r=200/5
r=40 roses
40 roses when there are 5 weeds.

Answer:

The Inverse variation says that:

y \propto \frac{1}{x},

then the equation is of the form:

y = \frac{k}{x} or xy = k

Here, r represents the number of roses and w represents the number of weeds.

As per the statement:

The number of roses (r) in a garden increases when the number of weeds (w) decreases.

by definition of inverse variation:

rw = k          ....[1]

From the given table:

take any points

r = 20 and w = 10 then;

Substitute in [1] we have;

(20)(10)= k  

Simplify:

k = 200

The equation becomes: rw = 200  

We have to find the number of roses when there are 5 weeds.

⇒w = 5

then;

r(5) = 200  

Divide both sides by 5 we get;

r = 40

Therefore, the number of roses are 40 when there are 5 weeds.

Leya [2.2K]
Let the number of bike be x and the number of skates be y, then
21x + 20y ≥ 362 . . . (1)
2y = x . . . (2)

Putting (2) into (1), then
21(2y) + 20y ≥ 362
42y + 20y ≥ 362
62y ≥ 362
y ≥ 5.84

The least number of pairs of skates they need to rent each day to make their minimum is 6.
