Answer:

quantity a is halfed

Corrected question;

A quantity a varies inversely as a quantity b, if, when b changes a changes in the inverse ratio. What happens to the quantity a if the quantity b doubles?

Step-by-step explanation:

Analysing the question;

A quantity a varies inversely as a quantity b,

a ∝ 1/b

a = k/b ......1

when b changes a changes in the inverse ratio;

Since the change at the same ratio but inversely, k = 1

So, equation 1 becomes;

a = 1/b

If the quantity b doubles,

ab = 1

a1b1 = a2b2

When b doubles, b2 = 2b1

a1b1 = a2(2b1)

Making a2 the subject of formula;

a2 = a1b1/(2b1)

a2 = a1/2

Therefore, when b doubles, a will be divided by 2, that means a is halfed.

How do the gcf and the lcm help you when multiplying and adding or subracting fractions
kari74 [83]
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

GCF: the greatest common factor of numerator and denominator is a factor that can be removed to reduce the fraction.

  <em>Example</em>

The numerator and denominator of 6/8 have GCF of 2:

  6/8 = (2·3)/(2·4)

The fraction can be reduced by canceling those factors.

  (2·3)/(2·4) = (2/2)·(3/4) = 1·(3/4) = 3/4

___

LCM: the least common multiple of the denominators is suitable as a common denominator. Addition and subtraction are easily performed on the numerators when the denominator is common.

  <em>Example</em>

The fractions 2/3 and 1/5 can be added using a common denominator of LCM(3, 5) = 15.

  2/3 + 1/5 = 10/15 + 3/15 = (10+3)/15 = 13/15

The following is an incomplete paragraph proving that ∠WRS ≅ ∠VQT, given the information in the figure where segment UV is paral
Vikki [24]

Each of the pairs of the opposite angles made by two intersecting lines are called vertical angles. The correct option is A.

<h3>What are vertical angles?</h3>

Each of the pairs of the opposite angles made by two intersecting lines are called vertical angles.

The proof can be completed as,
Given the information in the figure where segment UV is parallel to segment WZ.: Segments UV and WZ are parallel segments that intersect with line ST at points Q and R, respectively. According to the given information, segment UV is parallel to segment WZ, while ∠SQU and ∠VQT are vertical angles. ∠SQU ≅ ∠VQT by the Vertical Angles Theorem. Because ∠SQU and ∠WRS are corresponding angles, they are congruent according to the Corresponding Angles Theorem. Finally, ∠VQT is congruent to ∠WRS by the Transitive Property of Equality.

Hence, the correct option is A.
