Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3y = 2x

Divide each side by 3

3y/3 = 2x/3

y = 2/3 x

The direct variation relationship is

y = kx

In this case k = 2/3

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3y = 2x (Divide each side by 3)

3y/3 =2x/3

y=2/3x

so the direct variation relationship is

y=mx (m constant of proportionality)

In this case m is

2/3

Jami can mow 1/6 acre in 8 minutes. If her rate is constant, can Jami mow 1 1/2 acres in one hour?

lapo4ka [179]

Time taken by Jami to mow 1/6 acres is 8 minutes=8/60=2/15 hours.

Rate at which Jami is mowing will be:

rate=(number of acres)/(time)=(1/6)/(2/15)

=1/6÷2/15

=1/6×15/2

=5/4 acres/hour

=1.25 acres/hour

From above calculations we conclude that Jami cannot mow 1.5 acres in 1 hour

Marina CMI [18]

Answer: x = 4/5

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

$\tan\ y=\dfrac{\text{side OPPOSITE y}}{\text{side ADJACENT to y}}=\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\\\.\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \dfrac{x}{x+4}=\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\\\\text{Cross multiply, distribute, and solve for x:}\\6(x)=1(x+4)\\6x=x+4\\5x=4\\\\\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{4}{5}}$
