When it says varies directly, it means that y and x are going to be on opposite sides of the equals sign and that there is a constant, k,
y=kx
Plug in (5,100)
100=k(5)
K=20
It’s written as 0.6 in decimal form
6.83 as a mixed number is:
6 83/100
The change of the cost changes when the pounds of ham changes. When the pounds of ham is 0, it costs 0 dollars. When the pounds of ham is 3, it costs 12 dollars. The cost changes consistently with the pounds of ham. They change together. Every time the pounds of ham goes up by 3, the cost goes up by 12.
From the description, you can get two equation that looks like this:
L= 2*W+6.7cm
Perimeter= 57.2cm
Using perimeter formula, you can put the first and second equation like this:
perimeter= 2L + 2W
57.2cm= 2(2*W+ 6.7)+2W
57.2cm= 4W+ 13.4+ 2W
57.2- 13.4= 6W
W= 43.8/6= 7.3 cm
L= 2W+ 6.7
L= 2*7.3 + 6.7= 21.3
Answer: <span>A. Length=21.3 cm; width=7.3 cm</span>
