Answer:

x =7

Step-by-step explanation:

The direct variation equation is y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.

If y = 5.5 when x = 11, we can write 5.5 = 11k, which, when solved for k, yields k = 0.5.

Then the direct variation equation in this case is y = 0.5x.

If y = 3.5, what is x? y = 0.5x becomes 3.5 = 0.5x, yielding x = 7

Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx

5.5=m×11

5.5÷11=m

m=1/2

y=mx

3.5=1/2×x

3.5÷1/2=x

x=7

Gwar [14]

Answer: There are 24 traffic lights on Berry Boulevard.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Total length of road = $4\dfrac{4}{5}=\dfrac{24}{5}\ miles$

Number of roads on every $\dfrac{2}{5}\ mile$ = 2

So, According to unitary method,

In every $\dfrac{2}{5}\ mile$ , number of roads = 2

In every 1 mile, number of roads = $\dfrac{5}{2}\times 2=5$

So, in every $\dfrac{24}{5}\ miles,$ the number of roads = $\dfrac{24}{5}\times 5=24$

Hence, there are 24 traffic lights on Berry Boulevard.
