D
------------------------------
<span>Y is directly proportional to x^2. It could be represented by the expression:
y </span>α x^2
We can make it into an equality by inserting the proportionality constant, k.
y = kx^2
k would be constant for any value of y with a corresponding value of x. We solve the problem by this concept as follows:
y1/(x1)^2 = y2/(x2)^2
10/(x1)^2 = y2/(x1/2)^2
10/4 = y2
Therefore, when the value of x is halved, y is equal to 10/4.

Answer:
21
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume is read at the bottom of the meniscus. Here, the volume is indicated as 21.

<em>Additional comment</em>
We expect the units are mL, but the problem statement does not say.
Answer:
Here we can use the relationship:
Distance = time*speed.
When Jose walks, his speed is 4 mph.
Then if he walks for X hours, the distance that he will travel is:
D = 4mph*X
When Jose runs, his speed is 8mph.
Then if he runs for T hours, the distance that he will travel is:
D´ = 8mph*Y
And we know that he travels in total 20 miles, then we must have that:
D + D´= 20mi
This leads to:
4mph*X + 8mph*Y = 20mi
Where X is the time that he walked, and Y is the time that he runed.
Then the equation that represents the different amounts of times that Jose runs and walks is:
4mph*X + 8mph*Y = 20mi
Where we can not really find the solutions for Y and X, because there is only one equation and two variables.
