Answer:

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent the total fabric as an integer = 1

Ellen divides a piece of fabric into 8 equal sections by drawing chalk lines.

= 1/8, hence each section = 1/8

Then she cuts off 5 of the sections to make into placemats.

This is written as: 5 sections × 1/8 = 5/8

The fraction of the fabric that is left is calculated as:

1 - 5/8

Lowest Common Denominator = 8

Hence: 8 - 5/8 = 3/8

The fraction of the fabric that is left is 3/8

The Volume () of gas vanes inversely to the pressure (P). The volume of gas is 200 cm ^ 3 under pressure of 32 kg/cm^ 2 What wil
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

0.025 Kg/ cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

if two variables vary inversely, there is a negative relationship between both variables. the increase in one variable leads to a decrease in the other variable

the equation that represents inverse proportion :

y = \frac{b}{x}

where b = constant of proportionality

to determine the answer in this question :

1. determine constant of proportionality

200 = k / 32

k = 6400

2. Determine the amount of pressure using the constant of proportionality

256, 000 = 6400 / pressure

pressure = 6400 / 256, 000 = 0.025
