Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

"Inversely proportional to x" in this situation is represented by a = k/x.

Find k:

Let a = 15 and x = 25, then calculate k:

15 = k/25)

Multiplying both sides by 25 yields k = 15(25), or k = 3/5

and so a = -----------

A train is traveling at 60 mph. If the rate of speed increases 4 mph each hour,

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

B) 5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the amount of mph between 60 and 80:

80 - 60

= 20 mph

Since the speed increases 4 mph per hour, we can find how long it will take to get to 80 mph by dividing 20 by 4:

20/4

= 5

So, the correct answer is B, 5 hours

What is the volume of the cone to the nearest tenth?

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

366.5cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Determine the height and radius of cone.

2. Using the formula for the volume of a cone input where there is an h and r.

3.Where it says Area of base, it is talking about the circular base and that you need to find its area. (π×r²), you already have the radius so you put it in the formula and solve (π×5²)

4. Once you have the area of the base you can now completely solve. Multiply ⅓×(78.54)×14
