\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{inverse proportional variation} \\\\ \textit{\underline{y} varies inversely with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad y=\cfrac{k}{x}\impliedby \begin{array}{llll} k=constant\ of\\ \qquad variation \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}


\bf \stackrel{\textit{\underline{n} scarves is inversely proportional to the area \underline{a} of each scarf}}{n=\cfrac{k}{a}} \\\\\\ \textit{we also know that } \begin{cases} a=3\\ n=16 \end{cases}\implies 16=\cfrac{k}{3}\implies 48=k~\hfill \boxed{n=\cfrac{48}{a}} \\\\\\ \textit{when a = 4, what is \underline{n}?}\qquad n=\cfrac{48}{4}\implies n=12

What is the midpoint between 0.12 and 0.13
max2010maxim [7]
To find midpoint, you would add the numbers and divide it by the amount of numbers. So it would be 0.12+0.13 divided by 2 because you have 2 numbers. That would equal .25 divided by 2 also known as .125, the final answer.
