Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Given y is directly proportional to x then the equation relating them is

y = kx ← k is the constant of proportion

To find k use the condition when x = 3, y = 18 , then

18 = 3k ( divide both sides by 3 )

6 = k

y = 6x ← equation of proportion

(b)

(i)

when x = 12 , then

y = 6 × 12 = 72

(ii)

when y = 42

42 = 6x ( divide both sides by 6 )

7 = x

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The equal amount is 525 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Eric and his two sister shared amount of money in ratio2:7 respectively.

Amount with Eric = 300

It means,

2x = 300

x = 150

So,

7x = 7(150)

= 1050

As the remaining amount shared equally among the sister. So, the equal amount is 525 .

I’m begging for help!! ASAP

This is an awful question.  They mean to say  the number of hours practicing <em>per week</em> (we'll call it h) varies inversely with the <em>time</em> (t) she runs her event.  Unless they mean to imply more practicing makes Tyler slower, in which case she should just get a pizza.

Inverse variation means the product is a constant, we'll call it k.

ht = k

When h = 1 hour t=6 minutes

(1)(6) = k

k = 6  (hour*minutes, but as long as we're consistent we don't need to sweat the unit.)

Decreasing her time by one minute means t = 6 - 1 = 5.  We solve for h.

ht = k

h = k/t = 6/5 = 1.2 hours

Answer: 1.2 hours, second choice
