we know that
1) You have of a pie leftover after your party
2) Each
guest takes home of the leftover pie
To find the fraction of the original pie does each guest take home,
Multiply by
so
<u>Simplify </u>
Divide by both numerator and denominator
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
Part a .............> x = 11
Part b .............> k = 57.2
Part c .............> y = 9.2
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
The three problems deal with inverse variation between two variables
An inverse variation relation between two variables means that when one of the variables increases, the other will decrease (and vice versa)
<u>Mathematically, an inverse variation relation is represented as follows:</u>
where x and y are the two variables and k is the constant of variation
<u><em>Now, let's check the givens:</em></u>
<u>Part a:</u>
We are given that y = 3 and k = 33
<u>Substitute in the original relation and solve for x as follows:</u>
<u>Part b:</u>
We are given that y = 11 and x = 5.2
<u>Substitute in the original relation and solve for k as follows:</u>
<u>Part c:</u>
We are given that x=7.8 and k=72
<u>Substitute in the original relation and solve for y as follows:</u>
to the nearest tenth
Hope this helps :)
