Answer:

D.)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 5/x

so when the value of x triples, the new X becomes;

X = 3x

So,

Y = 5/ X

=> Y = 5/3x

=> Y = 1/3 . 5/x

=> Y = 1/3 . y

so the new value of y ( Y ) is 1/3 times original y.

Hence, D. is the answer

motikmotik

Answer:

10 2/3 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a ratio

4 cars x cars

------------- = -----------

3 hours 8 hours

Using cross products

4 *8 = 3 *x

32 = 3x

Divide each side by 3

32/3 = 3x/3

10 2/3 cars

3. In an auditorium, 1/6 of the students are fifth graders, 1/3 are fourth graders, and 1/4 of the remaining students are second

Katen [24]

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

<u>Given:</u>

In an auditorium,

$\frac{1}{6}$ of the students are fifth graders,
$\frac{1}{3}$ are fourth graders, and
$\frac{1}{4}$ of the remaining students are second graders.

There are 96 students in the auditorium.

<u>Question:</u>

How many second graders are there?

<u>The Process:</u>

The least common multiple (LCM) of 3 and 6 is 6.

Let us draw the diagram of all students.

$96 \div 6 \ units = 16 \rightarrow \boxed{16}\boxed{16}\boxed{16}\boxed{16}\boxed{16}\boxed{16} = 96 \ students$

$\frac{1}{6}$ of the students are fifth graders, or 1 of 6 units above, that is $\boxed{16} = 16 \ students$
$\frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{6}$ are fourth graders, or 2 of 6 units above, that is $\boxed{16}\boxed{16} = 32 \ students$

The remainder is 6 units - (1 unit + 2 units) = 3 units, that is $\boxed{16}\boxed{16}\boxed{16} = 48 \ students$ . Or, 96 - 16 - 32 = 48 students.

$\frac{1}{4}$ of the remaining students are second graders.

Let us count how many second graders are there.

$\boxed{ \ \frac{1}{4} \times 48 \ students = ? \ }$

Thus, there are 12 second-graders in the auditorium.

- - - - - - - - - -

Quick Steps

$\boxed{ \ \frac{1}{4} \times \bigg(1 - \frac{1}{6} - \frac{1}{3} \bigg) \times 96 = ? \ }$

$\boxed{ \ = \frac{1}{4} \times \bigg(\frac{6}{6} - \frac{1}{6} - \frac{2}{6} \bigg) \times 96 \ }$

$\boxed{ \ = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{3}{6} \times 96 \ }$

$\boxed{ \ = \frac{3}{24} \times 96 \ }$

We crossed out 24 and 96.

$\boxed{ \ = 3 \times 4 \ }$

$\boxed{\boxed{ \ = 12 \ students \ }}$

Find a ratio equivalent to 5/8. Then use the ratios to write a proportion.

Vesna [10]

All you have to do is multiply the top and bottom by the same number (I'll do two). 5 times 2 = 10, and 8 times 2 = 16. 10/16 is equivalent to 5/8. A proportion for this can be written as 5/8 = 10/16.
