She bought 15 packages. You divide 86 by 6, but there is a remainder. pay no attention to it though, just add 1 to the answer.
Direct Proportion functions look like this:
y=kx
'k' is the constant of proportionality and in this case its 7.5 or 15/2.
--------------------------------------------
When x=1, y=7.5
When x=2, y=15
When x=3, y=22.5
Therefore y is directly proportional to x.

DIRECT PROPORTION EXPLAINED:
Say a football costs £7.50. If you buy one football you'll have to pay out £7.50, but if you you buy two footballs you'll have to pay out £15.00. Therefore the cost of the football(s) is directly proportional to the amount of footballs you buy. C=cost, f=football(s) and C<span>∝f, therefore C=kf, but as k=7.5, C=7.5f.
INVERSE PROPORTION EXPLAINED:
If it were to take 8 hours for one bricklayer to set up a wall, how long would it take for two bricklayers to set up a wall? The answer in this case would be 4 hours.
T=time to set up a wall
b=bricklayer(s)
Therefore T</span><span>∝1/b, and T=k/b. In this case k=8 so T=8/b.
When b=1, T=8.
When b=2, T=4.
We'd say that the time it would take for bricklayers to set up a wall would be inversely proportional to the amount of bricklayers available.</span>
Answer:
x = - 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x + 2 = 
Multiply through by 24 ( the LCM of 6 and 8 ) to clear the fractions
20x + 48 = 21 ( subtract 48 from both sides )
20x = - 27 ( divide both sides by 20 )
x = -
Answer:
I got 32.
Step-by-step explanation:
I used the Pythagorean theorem to find the lengths of the width and length. The length between (-1, 4) and (3, 3) was approximately 4 in. The distance between (-1, 4) and (-3, -4) was approximately 8 in. I then used those numbers to find the perimeter ((2*4)+(2*8))
Answer:
1. at 1 hour, 3 miles is the distance.
2. at 0 hours, 0 miles is the distance.
3. at 3 hours, 9 miles is the distance.
