Consider the following example:

Mira and Lola are looking to hire a hall for their 18th birthday party. They are expecting at least 50 guests and want a hire that will accommodate the party. Write this requirement as an inequality 

Solution: the keyword here is 'at least' because it means that the hall must be able to accommodate a minimum of 50 people. It is a clue that Mira and Lola are expecting more than 50 guests. The inequality symbol for this context is 'more than or equal to' and as inequality, we have x ≥ 50

Question:

The quantities x and y are proportional.

x y

5.8 7.5

11.2

Find the constant of proportionality (r) in the equation y=rx

Answer:

The constant of proportionality is 75/58 or 1.29

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The table above

Required

Find the constant of proportionality

The question has an incomplete table but it can still be solved because x and y are proportional.

Given that

y = rx

Make r the subject of formula

Divide through by x

y/x = rx

y/x = r

r = y/x

When y = 7.5, x = 5.8

Substitute these values

r = y/x becomes

r = 7.5/5.8

Multiply denominator and numerator by 10

r = (7.5 * 10)/(5.8 * 10)

r = 75/58

In this case, it's best to leave the answer in fraction.

However, it can be solved further.

r = 75/58

r = 1.29 (Approximated)

Hence, the constant of proportionality is 75/58 or 1.29

A small company's net income for the first six months of the year was $76,500 and for the last six months it was $100,000 what i
Talja [164]
<span>The<u> correct answer</u> is:

153/200.

Explanation<span>:

The amount for the first 6 months is 76500 and the amount for the last 6 months is 100000. This makes the ratio 76500/100000.

Both of these end with two 0's; this means they are both divisible by 100. 76500/100 = 765 and 100000/100 = 1000; this makes the ratio 765/1000.

Since these end with a 5 or a 0, they are divisible by 5; 765/5 = 153 and 1000/5 = 200; this makes the ratio 153/200.

153 is only divisible by 3 or 9; 153/3 = 51 and 153/9 = 17. None of these will divide evenly into 200, so we stop at 153/200.</span></span>

Find the height of a square pyramid that has a volume of 75 cubic feet and a base length of 5 feet.
frutty [35]
Volume  = 1/3 * area of the base * height

75  = 1/3 * 5^2 * h

h = 75 * 3 / 25  = 3*3  = 9 feet answer

Daniel’s tennis team made $582.85 from running the concession stand at a basketball game. The food and drinks cost the team $64.
Kobotan [32]
Let x be the number of members in Daniel's tennis team.

The amount made = $582.85
Expenses (food and drinks) = $64
Balance remaining for sharing = 582.85 - 64 = $518.85

Amount received by each player = (amount made - Expenses)/Number of members = 518.85/x
