Explain whether 20/16 is an equivalent ratio to 60/48

1 answer:

6 0

So since 20x3=60 all we have to do is multiply 16 by 3 to find out if it comes out to 48, which in this case it does, so the two ratios are equivalent.

When building a house, the number of days required to build varies inversely with with the number of workers. One house was buil

Helga [31]

Let d represent number of days and n represent number of workers.

We have been given that when building a house, the number of days required to build varies inversely with with the number of workers.

We know that the equation $y=\frac{k}{x}$ represents the relation where y is inversely proportional to x and k is the constant of proportionality.

So our required equation would be $d=\frac{k}{n}$

Upon substituting our given values, we will get:

$19=\frac{k}{35}$

$k=19\cdot 35$

$k=665$

Since constant of proportionality is 665, so our equation would be $d=\frac{665}{n}$ .

To find the number of days it will take to build a similar house with 5 workers, we will substitute $n=5$ in our equation as:

$d=\frac{665}{5}$

$d=133$

Therefore, it will take 133 days for 5 workers to build a similar house.

Algebra 1A unit 6 lesson 6

AnnyKZ [126]

1. y = -x - 2...slope here is -1. A parallel line will have the same slope

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -1
(2,-2)...x = 2 and y = -2
now we sub and find b, the y int
-2 = -1(2) + b
-2 = -2 + b
-2 + 2 = b
0 = b

so ur parallel equation is : y = -x
=========================
2. -1 = -3/2(2) + b
-1 = -3 + b
-1 + 3 = b
2 = b
parallel equation is : y = -3/2x + 2
==========================
3. parallel equation is : x = 4
==========================
4. 3 = 1/2(-2) + b
3 = -1 + b
3 + 1 = b
4 = b
parallel equation is : y = 1/2x + 4
===========================
5. y + 0 = 2(x - 5)
y = 2x - 10 <== parallel line
============================
6. neither
============================
7. if ur second equation is : 2x + y = 7, then the lines are parallel
============================
8. neither
============================
9. sometimes
============================
10. never

Find the equation of the line through point (2,2) and parallel to y=x+4. Use a forward slash (i.e.”/“) for fractions (e.g. 1/2 f

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The equation of the line is, y = x

Step-by-step explanation:

The constraints of the required linear equation are;

The point through which the line passes = (2, 2)

The line to which the required line is parallel = y = x + 4

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope, therefore, we have;

The slope of the line, y = x + 4 is m = 1

Therefore, the slope of the required line = 1

The equation of the required lime in point and slope form becomes;

y - 2 = 1 × (x - 2)

∴ y = x - 2 + 2 = x

The equation of the required line is therefore, y = x
