By the binomial theorem,
Each term containing a factor 6 is divisible by 3, since 3 divides 6. The remaining 1 and 2 sum to 3, which is also divisible by 3.
1) Answer: 21
As y varies directly with x, this means that the ratio y/x is always a constant.
In other words, the equation can be written as y = kx, where k is a constant term.
Thus,
y = 21
2) Answer: C
Exactly the same process as above.
Here's another method:
25 = k(140)
k = 25/140 = 5/28
Thus, when y = 36, 36 = kx
36 = 5/28(x)
36 * 28/5 = x; x = 201.6
3) 9 = k(12)
9/12 = k and k = 3/4
4) On the graph, it hits y = 1 at x = 4.
Thus, we can rewrite the equation as:
y = (1/4)x, where the constant term is 1/4
5) y = kx
The distance represents the x-ordinates, and the time represents the y-ordinates.
9.5/475 = 0.02
4 = 0.02(x), in hours.
x = 200 miles.

Answer:
No, the bid is not correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
One of your employees is bidding on a carpet installation job.
They estimate that it will take 3 hours to install 12 square yards of carpeting.
we know that 1 square yard= 9 square foot.
12 square yard= 12×9 square foot=108 square foot
i.e. it takes 3 hours to carpet 108 square foot.
Hence time taken to carpet 1 square foot= hour
Now the dimension of room is:
11' 6"× 12' 9" i.e. we convert both the units to foot as:
1 foot= 12 inch
11'6"=11+(6/12)=11.5 foot.
and 12'9"=12+(9/12)=12.75 foot.
Hence, dimension of room=11.5 foot×12.75 foot
Hence area of room=11.5×12.75=146.625 square foot.
Time to carpet 146.625 square foot=
hour
=4.0729 hour
But it is given that it takes 12.3 hours to install the carpet.
Hence, the calculations were wrong.
