Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

15 bags for $20 can be represented with 15/20
so x bags for $4 can be represented with x/4

now if you proportion it out (ricochet), 4x15 is 60, 60 divided by 20 is 3, so you can buy 3 bags of potatoes with $4.

OR

you could do 15/20 is 0.75

0.75 times 4 is 3, so $4 can buy you 3 bags.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

This is a proportion problem. It assumes that if you know 3 of the four parts of a 2 ratio proportion, you can solve for the 4th one.

Givens

number of bags = 15

Cost = 20

Different cost = 4

number of bags = ?

Formula

Number of bags / Cost = different number of bags/ New Cost

Solution

15/20 = x / 4              Multiply both sides by 4

15*4/20  = x / 4 * 4

60/20 = x

Answer x = 3

That is 4 dollars gets you 3 bags of potatoes

The table shows the values of y for each value of x. x y 2 1 3 1 4 -3 3 -3 Part A: Does the table represent a relation that is a
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
Part A:

The given values in form of ordered pairs are:
(2,1), (3,1), (4,-3), (3,-3)

A relation can be a function if one value of x is paired with exactly one value of y. In this case, x value of 3 is paired with two y values 1 and -3. So this relation is not a function.

Part B:

f(h) = 15h + 5
f(8) can be found by substituting h=8 in above equation. 
So,
f(8) = 15(8) + 5 = 125
h represents the number of hours and f(h) represents the earnings of Kylie. So f(8) shows that Kylie earned $125 from 8 hours of work in the cafe

Part C:

For r hours of work, we can write:
f(r) = 15r + 5
So, the ordered pair can represent this relation as:
(r, f(r))
or
(r, 15r+5)

Answer the following <br><br> please give steps of how you got your answer
konstantin123 [22]

Answer: x^4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Rewrite the expression in fraction form:

(3√x²)^6 = x^(2/3)^6

2 is the exponent, so when written in fraction form, it is the numerator. 3 is the index or root, so in fraction form it is the denominator.

2. Solve:

x^(2/3)^6 = x^(12/3) = x^4

Because the exponent 2/3 is raised to the power of 6, you can use the power rule, which basically just means that whenever an exponent is raised to an exponent, multiply them. So, 2/3 * 6 equals 12/3, and 12/3 equals 4, making your answer x^4.
