Answer:

y = 32/2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

formula:

y=kx

k = y/x

k= 4/2.5

so this is k

y = 4/2.5 x

y = 4 / 2.5 × 8

y = 32/2.5

answer.) y = 32/2.5

hope it was helpful

thank you

A zookeeper weighed an African elephant to be 9x10^3 pounds and an African lion to be 4x10^2 pounds. How many times greater is t

maria [59]

Answer: 22.5 . The weight of the elephant is "22.5 times greater" than the weight of the lion.
_________________________________________________________
Explanation:
_________________________________________________________

(weight of lion) * (x) = (eight of the elephant) ; Solve for "x" .
_____________________________________________________
→ Divide each side of the equation by "(weight of lion)" ;
to isolate "x" on one side of the equation ; and to solve for "x" ;
_________________________________________________________

→ (weight of lion)*(x) / (weight of lion) = (weight of the elephant) /
(weight of lion) ;
________________________________________________________
→ x = (weight of the elephant) / (weight of lion) ;
__________________________________________________________
→ Plug in our "given values" ; and solve for "x" ;
__________________________________________________________
→ x = (<span>9*10</span>³) / (4*10²) = (9*10⁽³⁻²⁾) / 4 = (9*10¹) / 4 ;
__________________________________________________________
→ x = 90 /4 = 25/2 = 22.5 ; which is our answer.
__________________________________________________________

You used p minutes one month on your cell phone. The next month you used 75 fewer minutes. Simplify the expression.

Anestetic [448]

Hi there!

Let's assume that one month is represented by the variable 'm', the amount of minutes you started with is 's', and minutes you spent is 'p'.

So, one month can be represented as 'm=s-p'.

The next month is a bit more tricky. This will incorporate 75 less minutes into the equation. 'm=s-75' can be used to represent this, as we assume that you didn't use any minutes in the first month, and that p=75 in this case.

If you found this especially helpful, I'd appreciate if you'd vote me Brainliest for your answer. I want to be able to assist more users one-on-one, as well as to move up in rank! :)
