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

The local skating rink pays Mary a fixed rate per pupil plus a base amount to work as a skating instructor. She earns $90 for
baherus [9]

Answer:The expressions for the payment made to Mary are,

        (Monday)      90 = 15m + b

        (Tuesday)     62 = 8m + b

where m and b are the fee per student and the base fee, respectively. Solving for m and b, the values are 4 and 30.

The equation that represents Mary's earning is

                                   y = 4x + 30

For 20 students,

                                   y = 4(20) + 30 = 110

For Lisa's earnings,

                                    y = 8x + 15

Substituting 20,

                                   y  =8(20) + 15 = 175

Thus, Lisa would earn more than Mary by $65.

Which of the following functions has a horizontal asymptote at y = 2?
Leona [35]

Answer: The first graph

Step-by-step explanation:

An asymptote is an imaginary line that the function is approaching but never reaching. y=2 is a horizontal line. Therefore by looking at the graphs, the first graph shows the two functions never approaching 2, but gets very close to it. Therefore it is the first graph.

How does Reflection work in real-life situations?
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

reflection is defined as the change in the direction of a wavefront at the interface between two different media, bouncing the wavefront back into the original medium. A common example of reflection is reflected light from a mirror or a still pool of water, but reflection affects other types of waves beside light.

The Mason High Cougars need to win 3 out of the next 12 baseball games to make it to
natta225 [31]

Answer:

The percent for 3 out of 12 is 25%

If the total number of games was 100, the win amount would need to be 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 out of 12 is a fraction - 3/12

3/12 = 0.25 which means 25% because 0.25 is 25% of 1.

Using the same percentage for 100 total games, you just multiply 100 by 0.25, the decimal version of the percentage.
