first off, let's notice that Purple's time is in minutes, whilst the rate is in miles per hour, the units of both must correspond, so, we can either change the time from minutes to hours or the rate from hours to minutes, hmmm let's change the time to hours.

so 40 minutes, we know there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, so 40 minutes will be 40/60 of an hr, or namely 2/3.

\qquad \qquad \textit{inverse proportional variation} \\\\ \textit{\underline{y} varies inversely with \underline{x}} ~\hspace{6em} \stackrel{\textit{constant of variation}}{y=\cfrac{\stackrel{\downarrow }{k}}{x}~\hfill } \\\\ \textit{\underline{x} varies inversely with }\underline{z^5} ~\hspace{5.5em} \stackrel{\textit{constant of variation}}{x=\cfrac{\stackrel{\downarrow }{k}}{z^5}~\hfill } \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\stackrel{\begin{array}{llll} \textit{\tiny "t"ime varies}\\ \textit{\tiny inversely with "s"peed} \end{array}}{t = \cfrac{k}{s}}\qquad \textit{we know that} \begin{cases} t=\stackrel{minutes}{40}\to \stackrel{hrs}{\frac{2}{3}}\\ s=\stackrel{m/h}{9} \end{cases} \implies \cfrac{2}{3}~~ = ~~\cfrac{k}{9} \\\\\\ 18=3k\implies \cfrac{18}{3}=k\implies 6=k~\hfill \boxed{t=\cfrac{6}{s}} \\\\\\ \textit{when s = }\stackrel{m/h}{12}\textit{ what is "t"?}\qquad t=\cfrac{6}{12}\implies t=\cfrac{1}{2}

200 3. A technician charges $25 per hour plus $50 for a house call to repair home computers. Make a table and a graph to show th
Tju [1.3M]

Recall that for a home visit, the technician charges $50 regardless on the time spent in the repair.

So, to find out the rate, we should calculate the part that depends on the spent time, and the add 50. So for example, we know that the technician spents 1 hour. So, we multiply 1 times 25 and then add 50. So, 25*1 + 50 = 75, which is the rate for a 1-hour repair.

So, in general, if we know that the number of hours is x, we multiply x times 25 and then add 50. Then a table would like this:

x 25*x 25*x +50

1 25 75

2 50 100

3 75 125

4 100 150

Note that as the time increases by one hour, the fare increases by 25. This is an example of a direct variation, since as the independent variable increases (t
