Answer:

y=\frac{5}{8}x

y=\frac{15}{8}, when x=3.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that  y varies directly with x, and y=15 when x=24.

We know that two direct proportional quantities are in form y=kx, where k is constant of proportionality.

Let us find constant of proportionality by substituting y=15 and x=24 in above equation.

15=k*24

\frac{15}{24}=\frac{k*24}{24}

\frac{3*5}{3*8}=k

\frac{5}{8}=k

Therefore, our required equation would be y=\frac{5}{8}x.

Let us substitute x=3 in the equation.

y=\frac{5}{8}(3)

y=\frac{15}{8}

Therefore, the value of y is \frac{15}{8}.

Just set up a proportion with the original numbers and then the numbers you want to find like so: (x1/y1)=(x2/y2) and since you want to find the second y value, just leave y as a variable like so: (15/24)=(3/y) after this just cross multiply and get the answer: 15y=72.....y=4.8

What is the measure of angle F in degrees when H is 127degrees and G is 33.5 degrees?
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

19.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is a key factors in triangles, it must add up to 180 degrees.

You have three angles in a triangle ABC,

A = 127

B = 33.5

C = ?

In this case you would add the two together (160.5) and subtract from 180 giving you the angle C = 19.5

CHECK:

Add 127+33.5+19.5 = 180! Yes!
