Answer: C. t(p)=\dfrac{80}{p}

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of inverse variation:-

y=\dfrac{k}{x}, where k is variation constant.

Given : The time it takes to remodel a kitchen t(p) varies inversely with the number of workers assigned to the job p.

i.e. t(p)=\dfrac{k}{p}  (1)

A kitchen remodeling job takes 40 hours to complete when 2 workers are assigned to it.

i.e. t(2)=40=\dfrac{k}{2}

\Rightarrow k=40\times2=80

Then , the equation can be used to find the time to complete the job when p workers are assigned to it (Put k= 80 in (1)) :

t(p)=\dfrac{80}{p}

A person runs 1/8 mile in 1/64 hour.<br> The person's speed is (BLANK) miles per hour.
snow_tiger [21]

Answer: The person's speed is 8 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve we want to convert the \frac{1}{8} and \frac{1}{64} proportionally for the number of miles per hour. We know that multiplying a fraction by its reciprocal will equal 1. So let's do that for the value of the hour.

\frac{1}{64}×\frac{64}{1} =\frac{64}{64} =1

Since we multiplied that to the number of hours we must also do that for the number of miles.

\frac{1}{8}×\frac{64}{1} =\frac{64}{8} =8

But when you make it to a proper fraction you get 1 1/8.

Arnie decides to make 3 cups of dark orange paint and 3 cups of light orange paint.
dimulka [17.4K]

The question is an illustration of equivalent ratios.

  • 3 cups of dark orange require 3 ounces of yellow  paint
  • 3 cups of light orange require 19.5 ounces of yellow paint

1 cup of dark orange requires

Red = 7oz

Yellow =1oz

To make 3 cups, we simply multiply by 3, because 3 \times 1 = 3

So, we have:

Red = 7oz \times 3 = 21oz

Yellow =1oz \times 3 = 3oz

2 cups of light orange require

Red =3oz

Yellow =13

To make 3 cups, we simply multiply by 1.5, because 2 \times 1.5 = 3

So, we have:

Red = 3oz \times 1.5 = 4.5oz

Yellow = 13oz \times 1.5 = 19.5oz

Hence:

  • 3 cups of dark orange require 3 ounces of yellow  paint
  • 3 cups of light orange require 19.5 ounces of yellow paint
