Given:
Eighteen 2.5 gallon buckets are needed to fill a cistern with water.
To find:
The constant of variation.
Solution:
If y is directly proportional to x, then
Where, k is constant of variation.
In the given problem, water in cistern (w) is directly proportional to number of buckets (n).
(Capacity of each bucket is 2.5 gallons)
Therefore, the constant of variation is 2.5.
The perimeter of the original rectangle is:
P = 2w + 2l = 70
The area of the original rectangle is:
A = w * l = 250
Then, by modifying the length of its sides we have:
Perimeter:
P '= 2 (2w) +2 (2l)
Rewriting:
P '= 2 (2w + 2l)
P '= 2P
P '= 2 (70)
P '= 140
Area:
A '= (2w) * (2l)
Rewriting:
A '= (2) * (2) (w) * (l)
A '= 4 * w * l
A '= 4 * A
A '= 4 * 250
A '= 1000
Answer:
the new area and the new perimeter are:
P '= 140
A '= 1000
Answer:
they can get at most 6 drinks
Step-by-step explanation:
5 (17.5) + 2x ≤100
87.5 + 2x≤100
2x≤ 12.5
x≤6.25
The answer to the question is 300 square feet
