Answer:

x=\dfrac{y}{0.62}

Step-by-step explanation:

5\ \text{km}=3.1\ \text{miles}\\\Rightarrow 1\ \text{km}=\dfrac{3.1}{5}=0.62\ \text{miles}

10\ \text{km}=6.2\ \text{miles}\\\Rightarrow 1\ \text{km}=\dfrac{6.2}{10}=0.62\ \text{miles}

Let y be the distance in miles. So distance in km is given by

x=\dfrac{y}{0.62}.

The equation that shows the approximate distance in kilometers as a function if the distance in miles is x=\dfrac{y}{0.62}.

Eric's Coffee Shop makes a blend that is a mixture of two types of coffee. Type A coffee costs Eric $5.50 per pound, and type B
AlekseyPX

115.2 pounds of type A coffee were used.

<h3>What is the solution of the equation?</h3>

A mathematical statement that has an "equal to" symbol between two expressions with equal values is called an equation.

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side. It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides. We have LHS = RHS (left hand side = right hand side) in every mathematical equation. To determine the value of an unknown variable that represents an unknown quantity, equations can be solved.

Let the number of pounds of type A coffee be x and the number of pounds of Type B coffee be y.

According to the question, the equations are,

5.50x + 4.40y = 762.30

x = 4y

So, the solution of the equation is obtained as follows:

5.50(4y) + 4.40y = 762.30

26.40y = 762.30

y = 762.30/26.40

y = 28.8 pounds

x = 4*28.8 = 115.2 pounds

In the topic of mathematical limits, what does converges and diverges mean?
11111nata11111 [884]
In the analysis of an infinite series, the sequence of partial sums are can be classified as either convergent of divergent. The series can be classified as a convergent sequence when a limit exists and is finite. The opposite is true, where the sequence of partial sums can be classified as a divergent sequence when the limit doesn't exist or is positive of negative infinity.
