Answer:
15 green pieces.
Step-by-step explanation:
8x = 24
x = 3.
So you need 3 times the amount of green pieces for every yellow piece.
3 * 5 green pieces = 15 green pieces
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c represent the number of children, then
number of men = 4c and number of women = 2c
Sum the numbers of each and equate to 266
4c + 2c + c = 266, that is
7c = 266 ( divide both sides by 7 )
c = 38
Thus
4 × 38 = 152 and 2 × 38 = 76
The group consists of 38 children, 152 men and 76 women
I believe the answer is 2
Answer:
Not enough information given
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope, you need two points. You put the values into this formula:
(y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1) = m
The underscores show which ordered pair, so _2 means the values from the second one.
m stands for slope.
Direct variation is a relation that has the form
y = kx
where k is the constant of proportionality.
If you are told that a relation is a direct proportion, and you are given one data point, you can find k. The you can write the equation of the direct relation.
Here is an example.
The price of gasoline follows a direct variation.
John bought 5 gallons of gas and paid $15.
a) Write an equation for the relation.
b) Using the relation you found, how much do 13.8 gallons cost?
Solution:
Since the relation is a direct variation, it follows the general equation of a direct variation:
y = kx
We are given one data point, 5 gallons cost $15.
We plug in 5 for x and 15 for y and we find k.
y = kx
15 = k * 5
k = 3
Now that we know that k = 3, we rewrite the relation using our value of k.
y = 3x
This is the answer to part a).
Part b)
We use our relation, y = 3x, and we plug in 13.8 into x and find y.
y = 3x
y = 3 * 13.8
y = 41.4
The price of 15 gallons of gas is $41.40.
