Take an example: The salary per hour:
Assume x (variable) is the number of hours worked and assume THAT THE RATE PER HOUR IS $10, then:
If you work x hours at the hourly rate of$10, you will generate an income,
say, y that is equal the number of hours worked by the rate per hour, that is:
y = 10.x. The more hour(x) you work, the more income(y) you get.
Hence we created a relationship between y and x , or in English, between the earning and the number of hours worked.
Moreover y depends on x, if there is no x, there is no y and if x increases, y increases. However x is an INDEPENDENT variable because you can
give to x any number & y will follow
First, you add the two ratio numbers to figure out what to divide your 28 cans of soda by.
3=4=7
Next, you divide this amount into your total amount of cans of soda.
28/7=4.
This means that for each one in the ratio, there is 4 cans. So you multiply both numbers in the ratio by 4.
3*4 = 12
4*4=16
So, your final answer is 12:16, or 12 cans of soda in one group, and 16 cans of soda in the other.
Answer:
There are 3 prime numbers shown on the die: 2, 3 and 5. The probability of showing a prime number on a single die is 1/2, hence the probability of not showing a prime number is also 1/2. Total possible outcomes when two dice are rolled = 6*6 = 36. Total possible outcomes when two dice are rolled = 6*6 = 36.
Step-by-step explanation:
y = kx, where k is a real constant.
When y = 12, x = 5.
=> (12) = (5)k, k = 2.4.
Therefore when y = 30,
x = y/k = (30)/(2.4) = 12.5.
The answer is 12.5.
