<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.

Which is NOT a true statement?
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

option 4

Step-by-step explanation:

|a| represents Absolute value, it is the distance from zero that a number is on the number line. And we know distance cannot be negative.

So,

|a| = a

|-a| = a\\\\| \frac{-a}{b}| = \frac{a}{b}\\\\|\frac{a}{-b}| = \frac{a}{b}

How to name a angle in 4 different ways?<br> First answer and correct answer gets to be brainliest!
likoan [24]

Hey there!

  • 4 ways to name angles

⇒ Use the vertex as the middle letter, and the point from each side (<ABC or <CBA)

⇒ Use the vertex only (<B)

⇒ Use a number (<1)

  • Classify angles according to their measure.

⇒ Acute angle: less than 90°

⇒ Right angle: exactly 90°

⇒ Obtuse angle: between 90° and 180°

⇒ Straight angle: exactly 180°

Thank you,

Eddie

The City Housing Authority has received 50 applications from qualified applicants for eight low-income apartments. Three of the
OlgaM077 [116]
The probability that both specific qualified applicants will be among the eight selected is given by:
P(2\ specified)=\frac{2C2\times 48C6}{50C8}=0.0229
The probability that the two will get apartments on the North side is given by:
P(North)=\frac{3C2\times5C0}{8C2}=0.107
The probability that the two will get apartments on the South side is given by:
P(South)=\frac{5C2\times3C0}{8C2}=0.357
The events '2 apartments on North side' and '2 apartments on South side' are mutually exclusive. Therefore the probability the two specific qualified applicants will be on the same side of town is 0.107 + 0.357 = 0.464.
Finally, the probability that two specific qualified applicants will be selected for apartments on the same side of town is found from:
0.0229\times0.464=0.01063

A manager at the bookstore must arrange a collection of 231 books for display. The manager decides to use a combination of 15 sh
Kitty [74]

Answer:

6 tables.

Step-by-step explanation:

If he has 15 shelves, we can put the overall number of books off to the side for a moment. First calculate how many books he COULD put onto shelves. This would be 7*15, since each of fifteen shelves can hold 7 books. Counting by fifteens or using a calculator allows us to see that the shelves can hold 105 books.

Going back to the original number of books, we subtract 105 from the original value. The equation at this point is 231 - 105. The result is 126 books left to put on top of tables. But we're not done yet!

Since a table can hold 25 books, we need to divide the remaining number of books by 25. That would be 126/25. Doing this gives us 5 tables we would need, plus one book let over. Since we've run out of shelves, we MUST use another table just for the final book. That's 5+1, or 6 tables. Let's not forget to label our answer.
