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).

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.

Tell whether the ordered pair is a solution of the equation<br> y=5x; (15,-3)
n200080 [17]

Answer:

This ordered pair is NOT a solution of the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, it is important to note that ordered pairs consist of (x, y) so in this case

x = 15 and y = -3.  And that any variable directly next to a number calls for multiplication.  So, plugging in the variables the equation would look like

"-3 = 5 x 15"  

To see if 5 x 15 = -3 we will multiply them.  5 x 15 actually equals 75 not -3.  So we know this ordered pair is NOT the solution for the problem.

Klio2033 [76]
Well this is simple all you have to do is subtract 6 dollars from 35 lets do that first
35 - 6 = 29 
so she has 29 dollars to spend on each friend and she only has two....
so lets divide 29 and 2
29/2 = 14.5 
so she can spend $14.50 on each of her friends:)

Simplify 3/4 - 4 z + 5/4 z - 1/2 + 1/2 z enter your answer in the box.
creativ13 [48]

3/4 - 4 z + 5/4 z - 1/2 + 1/2 z

First, put the like terms together:

-4z + 5/4z + 1/2z + 3/4 - 1/2

Find the LCM of the first three to turn them into one massive fraction:

-16/4z + 5/4z + 2/4z + 3/4 - 1/2

Do the same for the last 2 fractions:

-16/4z + 5/4z + 2/4z + 3/4 - 2/4

Simplify everything (keeping like terms in mind)

-9/4z + 1/4

And that's the answer :)

(I think)
