11 people. 160+3 = 163. 1800/163 = 11.0429. Since you can not have a part of a person you have to round down to 11

It is given that yvaries directly as x. If y= 5 when x= 4 determine the constant of variation,

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

$k=\dfrac{5}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

y varies directly as x. It means,

y = kx

Where

k is the constant of variation

or

$k=\dfrac{y}{x}\\\\k=\dfrac{5}{4}$

So, the constant of variation is $\dfrac{5}{4}$ .

The temperature fell from 0 Degrees Fahrenheit to 15 and one-half Degrees Fahrenheit below 0 in 5 and three-fourths hours. Wen t

Kryger [21]

Answer:

The correct answer will be:

$-\dfrac{62}{23}$

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that :

Initial temperature, $T_1 = 0^\circ F$

Final temperature,

$T_2 = -15\dfrac{1}{2}^\circ F\\\Rightarrow T_2 = -\dfrac{15\times 2+1}{2} ^\circ F\\\Rightarrow T_2 = -\dfrac{31}{2} ^\circ F$

Time taken :

$5\dfrac{3}{4}\ hrs = \dfrac{5 \times 4+3}{4}\ hrs = \dfrac{23}{4}\ hrs$

Change in temperature per hour:

$\dfrac{\text{Difference of temperature}}{\text{Total Time Taken}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{T_2-T_1}{\text{Total Time Taken}}$

Putting the values of temperatures and time:

$\dfrac{\dfrac{-31}{2}-0}{\dfrac{23}{4}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{\dfrac{-31}{2}}{\dfrac{23}{4}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{-31 \times 4}{2 \times 23}} \text{---- Error done by Wen at this step}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{-31 \times 2}{23}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{-62}{23}}$

The error done by Wen was during calculating the values of fraction.

So, the correct answer is : $\frac{-62}{23}}$ instead of $\frac{-713}{8}$
