Answer:

y=15

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for direct variation is

y = kx

5 =k*2

Solve for k

Divide by 2

5/2 = k

y = 5/2 x

Now we substitute x=6

y = 5/2(6)

y = 15

Answer:

y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

If the variables are directly proportional, increasing one by a factor of 3 will mean the other one also increases by a factor of 3.

6 is 3 times 2, so the value of y will be 3 times 5, or 15.

___

You can write the relation as a proportion:

y/x = 5/2 = ?/6

Multiplying by 6 gives ...

(5/2)·6 = ? = 15

___

Or, you can bother with an equation relating x and y:

y = kx

5 = k·2 . . . plug in the given values and solve for k

5/2 = k . . . divide by 2

Then ...

y = (5/2)·6 = 15 . . . . same as the proportion, above.

If you rearrange this to y = 5·(6/2) then you see the relation described at the beginning of this solution. The new value of y is the old value multiplied by the factor by which x changes.

amelia needs to buy some cat food at the nearest store 2 bags of cat food is 6.50. How much would it be if amelia bought 3 bags?
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

$9.75

Step-by-step explanation:

We have all we need to solve for Bag #3.

2 bags equal $6.50.

We want 3 bags, not 4. So we need to divide the original cost by 1/2.

$6.50 divided by 1/2 is $3.25

Now we add an additional $3.25 to the original $6.50

Which one is the answer??
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

City X = 3 * 10^5            Given

City Y = 6 * 10^6

Times larger

6 * 10^6

3 * 10^5

Do the division

6*10^6/3^10^5 = 60 * 10^5/(3 * 10^5)   Note 10^5 will cancel

60/3 = 20 City y is 20 times City x

Population Difference

6,000,000

   300,000

5,700,000

Just from the numbers I've given you, A is incorrect. The answer is 20 not 2.

B is the answer

C is wrong. X is 5.7 million less.

D See the answer for C.
