Answer:

We conclude that there is NOT a proportional relationship between the distance the blimp travels and the time it travels.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know if y varies directly with x, we get the equation

y ∝ x

y = kx

k = y/x

where k is called the constant of variation.

In our case we are given:

A blimp travels 255 feet in 1/2 minute

A blimp travels 255 feet in 1/2minute.

here:

y = 255, and x = 1/2 = 0.5

so substituting y = 255 and x = 0.5 in the equation

k = y/x

k = 255 / 0.5

k = 510

A blimp travels 510 feet in 1/6 minute

here:

y = 510 , and x = 1/6

so substituting y = 510 and x = 1/6 in the equation

k = y/x

k = [510] / [1/6]

k = 3060

A blimp travels 3,060 feet in 1 minute

here

y = 3,060, and x = 1

so substituting y = 3,060 and x = 1 in the equation

k = y/x

k = 3,060 / 1

k = 3060

<u>HERE IS THE VARIATION OF THE CONSTANT OF VARIATION:</u>

A blimp travels 255 feet in 1/2 minute

k = 510

A blimp travels 255 feet in 1/2 minute

k = 3060

A blimp travels 3,060 feet in 1 minute

k = 3060

It is clear that the constant of variation does not remain constant.

Therefore, we conclude that there is NOT a proportional relationship between the distance the blimp travels and the time it travels.

Completed question:

In the game of tic-tac-toe, if all moves are performed randomly the probability that the game will end in a draw is 0.127. Suppose six random games of tic-tac-toe are played. What is the probability that at least one of them will end in a draw?

Answer:

0.557

Step-by-step explanation:

For each game, the probability of not end in a draw is 1 - 0.127 = 0.873. Thus, because each game is independent of each other, the probability of all of them not end in a draw is the multiplication of the probability of each one:

0.873x0.873x0.873x...x0.873 = 0.873⁶ = 0.443

Thus, the probability that at least one of them end in a draw is the total probability (1) less the probability that none of them en in a draw:

1 - 0.443

0.557

In which quadrant will the image FGH lie after a counterclockwise rotation of 1980 degrees? Explain how you made your prediction

Nata [24]

A 360 degrees counter-clockwise rotation will bring the triangle at the same place.

So, divide 1980 by 360 and find the remainder.

On dividing, we can find that

1980 = 5(360) + 180

A 1800 degrees rotation will rotate the triangle 5 times and will bring it in the same place.

A further 180 degrees rotation will rotate the triangle to two quadrants back and will bring it in the first quadrant.

37/50 of a number is what percentage of that number

Ronch [10]

Answer:

74%

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2 so that you will have a number over 100. After doing this you will have 74/100 which is 74%
