Loosely, "varies inversely" means that as one quantity increases, the other decreases. Specifically, if x and y vary inversely, then y = k/x where k is some constant (a particular number).
Another way to write that relationship is xy = k. To find the value of k for this problem, you need a numbers for x and y that go together.
Suppose x = number of children and y = number of candies (it doesn't matter what order these go in as long as you keep track!).
"When 12 children are present, 140 pieces of candy are consumed." So when x = 12, the value of y = 140.
xy = k
(12)(140) = k
1680 = k
Now, when x = 8 children,
8y = 1680
y = 210
Answer:Average daily pay =$90
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Formulae
Average daily earnings = Total amount of earning from Monday through Saturday/ number of days
Step 2
Monday $78,
Tuesday $94
Wednesday $115
Thursday $108
Friday $67
Saturday $78
Total earnings for Ben = $540
Average daily pay= $540/6 ==$90
Answer:
57
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given in the question that length CDA = 57.
Since the shape is a parallelogram, then we know that length AD=BC and AB=CD.
CDA = CD + AD
BCD = BC + CD
Since BC=AD and CD=CD
BCD = BC + CD is the same as CD + AD = CDA
Therefore BCD is the same length as CDA = 57
In other words, CDA is made up of a long side and a short side = 57
BCD is also made up of a long side and a short side, and since the longs sides are equal to each other and the short sides are also equal to each other in a parallelogram, BCD is the same length as CDA = 57.
Hope this helped!
Answer:
x = 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 11 = -8x + 14
Add 8x to both sides
10x - 11 = 14
Add 11 to both sides
10x = 25
Divide both sides by 10
x = 2.5
Answer: 3.84
Step-by-step explanation:
If you time 6 by 0.8 you get 4.8 then you times 4.8 by 0.8 you get 3.84
Hope this helps :)
