Directly proportional, both increase/decrease, Multiple k(constant you needed to solve for)..
Inversely --one increases as the other decreases, increase the denominator & fraction gets smaller.... So
Problem:
Dirextly to X (× by X)
Inversely to Y, (÷ by Y)
Z= k X/Y
Solve, working backwards: Z =5 becomes
5 = k (X) ÷ (Y). And
X=15 and Y =9 becomes
5= k(15)/(9). Undo ÷9, ×9 both sides
45= k(15). Now undo ×15 by ÷15 both sides
45/15 = 3. So k=3, (also called your constant of variation)....and your Equation/Proportion becomes...
Z = 3X/Y
Use the new #s.... X=23, Y=14
Z= 3×23÷14 = 69/14. If they want spirochete answer divide and round to corresponding # if decimals
We need to find how many 1/4 groups are in 1 1/2.
I work better with decimals, so I'll just convert them into decimals. We're dividing to see how many people we need.
1.5÷0.25
6
So, you'll need 6 runners for the relay race.
The answer is 888+88+8+8+8
6 kilometers is the greatest,but arranging from greatest to least: 6km, 60m, 600 cm or 6000mm
60 meters = 60 meters * 1km/1000 meters = 0.06 km600 centimeters = 600 cm * 1m/100cm * 1km/1000m = 0.006 km6000 millimeters = 6000mm * 1m/1000mm * 1km/1000m = 0.006km
<span>thus arranging from greatest to least:6km, 60m, 600 cm or 6000mm</span>
5x-40 if yo are trying to simplify it
