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:
QR = 65.4 m
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Apply Law of Cosines to find QR:
p² = q² + r² - 2qr × Cos P
p = QR = ?
q = PR = 150 m
r = PQ = 120 m
P = 25°
Plug in the values
p² = 150² + 120² - (2)(150)(120) × Cos(25°)
p² = 22,500 + 14,400 - 36,000 × 0.9063
p² = 36,900 - 32,626.8
p² = 4,273.2
p = √4,273.2
p ≈ 65.4 m (nearest tenth)
QR = 65.4 m
Answer:
125
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio is 5:3 so we divide the 75 by 3 to get 1 part
1 part = 75
75 x 5 = 125
125 strawberries were sold :)
