Answer:

The answer is : 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is that y varies directly as x.

Means as y increases or decreases, x also increases or decreases.

When y is 6 when x is 72,

So, when x = 8, we have to find y.

We can write the relation as follows:

\frac{6}{y}= \frac{72}{8}

72y=48

y=\frac{48}{72} = \frac{2}{3}

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Y varies directly as x

Y =kx

Y=6 when x = 72

First find the relationship between y and x.

i.e find the value of k

Substitute the value of x and y

6 = k *72

Make k the subject of the formula

K = 6/72

K= 1/12

:. The rlationship between x and y is

Y = 1/12x

When x is 8

Y = 1/12 * 8

Y = 8/12

Y = 2/3 and that is the answer

Hope it helped you

Butoxors [25]

Answer: Yes it is reasonable.

Step-by-step explanation:

If all the numbers are rounded, 79 will be rounded to 80

12 to 10

If there are about 80 kids in 3rd grade, and about 20 kids in Mrs. Henry's class (because 10 girls plus 10 boys)

That means that 80-20

about 60 kids are not in Mrs. Henry's class

Two angles are supplementary. The larger angle is
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

x = 165, y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Well, what does supplementary mean? - The angles add up to 180°.

2. Let's form an equation: x + y = 180°

3. Let's say x is the larger angle and y is the smaller angle.

4. Let's form another equation: x = 150 + y

5. Put the two equations next to each other:

x + y = 180

x = 150 + y

6. We know what x is equaled to, so let's plug it into the first equation!

150 + y + y = 180

150 + 2y = 180

-150           -150

2y = 30

y = 15

7. Now, we know what y is, let's find x!

x + 15 = 180

   -15     -15

x = 165
