Answer:

y = 1/5x

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Direct variation equation:</u>

y = kx

x = 25
y = 5

<u>Find the value of k:</u>

5 = 25k
k = 5/25
k = 1/5

<u>The equation is:</u>

y = 1/5x

The mass of a block of stone is 6400 kg. If the block has a volume of 0.8 m cubed, what is its density? Remember, density is mas

vovangra [49]

The question is asking for mass/unit of volume.
Therefore the density of the material would be 6400kg/0.8m^3. You then want to change the bottom into a 1 by multiplying the top and bottom both by 10/8. You now have 8000kg/m^3, which is the solution.

$8000 \frac{kg}{m^3}$

How many times smaller is 2 × 10^-10 than 4 × 10^-5

natta225 [31]

Answer:

200,000

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many times smaller is smaller number than greater number, divide greater number by smaller number.

Greater number $=4\times 10^{-5}$

Smaller number $=2\times 10^{-10}$

Then

$\dfrac{\text{Greater number}}{\text{Smaller number}}\\ \\=\dfrac{4\times 10^{-5}}{2\times 10^{-10}}\\ \\=\dfrac{4}{2}\times \dfrac{10^{-5}}{10^{-10}}\\ \\=2\times \dfrac{1}{10^{-5}}\\ \\=2\times 10^5\\ \\=2\times 100,000\\ \\=200,000$
