You could either find how far Chris can run in 60 minutes, or write an equation of ratios:
x 35 min
--------- = --------------
6 mi 50 min
Solving for x: 50x = 210; x = 4.2 miles (answer)
Answer:
Chef Rita can feed 20 people with 55 pancakes.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this problem using equivalent ratios. Since we know that Chef Rita can feed 8 people with 22 pancakes, we can set up the ratio:
To solve how many people she would be able to feed with 55 pancakes, we can set ratios equal to each other and solve for 'x' which is the number of people.
We can see what factor we multiply 22 by to get 55 and then we multiply the denominator by the same factor to get our equivalent ratio. 55 ÷ 22 = 2.5. So, 8 x 2.5 = 20 people.
Answer:
There's no direct variation
Step-by-step explanation:
Required
Determine if there's a direct variation between the number and its position
I'll start by giving an illustration of how the triangle is represented using stars (*)
*
**
***
****
*****
Represent the line number with y and it's position with x
On line 1:
y = 1, x = 1
On line 2:
y = 2, x = 3
On line 3:
y = 3, x = 6
On line 4:
y = 4, x = 10
On line 5:
y = 5, x = 15
Note that, x is gotten by calculating the accumulated number of stars while y is the line number.
Direct variation is represented by
y = kx
Or
kx = y
Where k is the constant of variation
For line 1:
Substitute 1 for y and 1 for x
k * 1 = 1
k = 1
For line 2:
Substitute 2 for y and 3 for x
k * 3 = 2
Divide through by 3
k = ⅔
Note that the values of k in both computations differ.
This implies that there's no direct variation and there's no need to check further.
It would be c≤3 as in c is less than or equal to three
