Answer:

9 labours

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this, we must know which kind of proportionality is this. There are two types of proportions, direct and indirect/inverse proportions. In direct proportion, if one quantity increases, the other quantity also increases.

In indirect proportion, if one quantity increases, the other decreases and vice versa.

As per this question, we know if the number of labour increases, the number of days to complete a work decreases, thus proving that this is an indirect/inverse proportion.

6 labours => 12 days

x labours =>  8 days

Since its an inverse proprotion, multiply 6 with 12, and x with 8.

8x = 6 × 12

x = \frac{6*12}{8}

∴ x = <u>9 labours</u>

your grade in Class varies directly with how many hours you study. you study for 3 hours and get a 60. What grade would you get
wel

To do this question you can use proportions.

3/60 is simplified to 1/20.

This shows that if you study 1 hour you get a 20. So to find the answer you multiply each side by 4.5, this means that if you study 4.5 hours you get a 90.

Answer:

<em>Option B</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Congruent Triangles</u>

The SAS Similarity Theorem states that if two sides in one triangle are proportional to two sides in another triangle and the included angle in both triangles are congruent, then the two triangles are similar.

The triangles \Delta LKN\ and\ \Delta KNM are congruent if the relation between LK and KN is the same as the relation between KN and MN, that is

\displaystyle \frac{4}{2}=\frac{2}{MN}

It means that

MN=1

Option B
