The rate of change in this pattern is 2:1 comparing the change in 'y' to the change in 'x'.. this means that if you go form 33 to 51 ( an increase of 18), then the the increase from 16 to ? will be 9. Therefore, ? = 16 + 9 or 25
? = 25
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
From the law of variation,
y <> 1/x, where <> is the constant of proportionality. Therefore
y = k/x where k is a constant
3 = k/5 and k = 15
To find x when y = 2.5(5/2)
Go back to the second equation
y = k/x
5/2 = 15/x
When you cross multiply
5x = 30.
Divide through by 5,
x = 6.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
5 bags= $12.50
1= ?
$12.50*1= 12.50
$12.50/5= $2.5
$2.5*5=$12.5
$2.5*3= $7.5
3 bags= $7.5
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangular Inequalities state that in a triangle, the sides must always be less than the sum of the other two.
You would have sides x, 2x, 3x in this case and use the inequality a+b>c.
if...
a=x, b=2x, c=3x
then...
x+2x>3x
3x>3x which is false.
Therefore you cannot make a triangle with sides proportional to 1, 2, and 3.
