Difference between DIRECT and INDIRECT ratio?​

Mathematics
2 answers:
MakcuM [25]2 years ago
8 0

Step-by-step explanation:

In a direct proportion, the ratio between matching quantities stays the same if they are divided. (They form equivalent fractions). In an indirect (or inverse) proportion, as one quantity increases, the other decreases.  In an inverse proportion, the product of the matching quantities stays the same.

Answer:

Both direct and indirect proportion are a comparison between two quantities (usually with different units).

In a direct proportion, as one quantity increases, the other also increases.

Examples would include:

If you buy more packets, it will cost more money.

If you have further to travel it will take more time.

If more people are to be fed, more food will be need.

If more people are to be transported, more cars/buses are needed.

More petrol is needed for longer distances.

Bigger area of floor will require more tiles/paint/wood.

A longer distance will need more paces to cover.

More dresses to be made will require more material.

In a direct proportion, the ratio between matching quantities stays the same if they are divided. (They form equivalent fractions).

k

=

x

y

In an indirect (or inverse) proportion, as one quantity increases, the other decreases.

If more people share a task, it will be done in less time.

Travelling at a faster speed means a trip will take less time.

If sugar is packed in smaller packets, more packets will be needed for the same mass.

For the same amount of money, a small parcel can be sent further than a bigger parcel.

If more people are being fed, food will be used up quicker.

For a fixed amount of money, as the price of presents increases, fewer can be bought.

Walking with longer strides means fewer paces are needed.

In an inverse proportion, the product of the matching quantities stays the same.

k

=

x

×

y

A hyperbola is the graph of inverse proportion.

7b6+12b6 if canot be simplified
kramer

Because b^6 is present in both terms, we can factor it out.

b^6(7 + 12)

Combine like terms.

b^6(19)

Rearrange.

19b^6 is the fully simplified form of the given expression.

1. Explain in a complete sentence if the point (2, -4) is the solution to the system of equations. x + y = -2 2x – y = 8
Temka [501]
So, it says x + y = -2
we just plug in the numbers so,
2 + - 4 = -2
This equation is true and can also be written as
2 - 4 = -2

It also then says that 2x - y = 8
Again, you just plug in the numbers
2 * 2 - (-4) = 8 
This equation is true and can also be writen as,
2*2 + 4 = 8
