Answer:

y = 46

Step-by-step explanation:

Given y varies inversely as x then the equation relating them is

y = $\frac{k}{x}$ ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 23 when x = 8 , then

23 = $\frac{k}{8}$ ( multiply both sides by 8 )

184 = k

y = $\frac{184}{x}$ ← equation of variation

When x = 4 , then

y = $\frac{184}{4}$ = 46

Approximately how many red candies will be in the packages?

galben [10]

This one is kinda tricky,

So if we look at the clues, 1 and 2 represent red candies.

We need to think like a computer here, if we were scanning a bar code with our laser eyes and we see 1s and 2s as favorable in this case, we would see 5 favorable codes (there are 3 "1s" and 2 "2s"),

Therefore the answer should be 5.

Hope this helped.

The yellow area has a 90 degree angle. 360/90=4. The yellow area is 25% of the circle which we know has an area of 25 in^2 so 1/4*25 = 6.25

on monday it rained 2 1/3 inches of rain. today the total rain for monday and tuesday was 3 7/8 inches. how many inches did it r

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

1 + 13/24 inches (1 $\frac{13}{24}$ inches)

Step-by-step explanation:

Inches is a measurement unit that used to determine length or depth. To solve the question we need to subtract the total rain at Tuesday with the depth of the rain at Monday. In this question, we have 2 numbers with different denominators. To subtract them, we have to change the denominator so it will be the same for both numbers. The way to do this is to multiply both fractions with opposite denominators. The calculation will be:

3 $\frac{7}{8}$ - 2 $\frac{1}{3}$ =

1 $\frac{7}{8}$ - $\frac{1}{3}$ =

1 $\frac{7}{8}$ * $\frac{3}{3}$ - $\frac{1}{3}$ * $\frac{8}{8}$ =

1 $\frac{21}{24}$ - $\frac{8}{24}$ =

1 $\frac{13}{24}$
