Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

An inverse variation is

xy = k where k is the constant of variation

8*9 = k

72 = k

xy = k

Let y = 12

x*12 = 72

Divide each side by 12

12x/12 =72/12

x = 6

Whats the elasped time between 9:00 and 1:30

Tasya [4]

Answer:

4 hours and 30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll assume you have a basic knowledge of time and know the sequence. So all you do is count to 1:00 and see how many steps you took. In this case 4, but then you have 30 minutes left. Add that to the 4 hours, and you have a total of 4 hours and 30 minutes of elapsed time.

Hope this helps :)
