Suppose that
y
varies directly with
x
, and
=y9
when
=x18
.
(a) Write direct variation equation that relates x and y
(b) Find y when x = 5
(a) The direct variation equation that relates x and y can be written as y = kx, where k is the constant of variation.
(b) To find y when x = 5, we can use the given information y = 9 when x = 18 to find the value of k.
Substituting the values into the direct variation equation:
9 = k * 18
Solving for k, we have:
k = 9/18 = 1/2
Now that we have the value of k, we can find y when x = 5:
y = (1/2) * 5 = 5/2 = 2.5
Therefore, when x = 5, y is equal to 2.5.
Solve the following proportion for
u
.
u/9 = 5/13
Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
=u
To solve the proportion u/9 = 5/13, we can cross-multiply:
u * 13 = 9 * 5
13u = 45
Then, to solve for u, we divide both sides of the equation by 13:
u = 45/13
Rounding to the nearest tenth, u is approximately equal to 3.5.
Solve for m.
m-14=n
To solve for m in the equation m-14=n, we can isolate m by adding 14 to both sides of the equation:
m = n + 14
Therefore, m is equal to n + 14.

Carmen is saving money to buy a game. So far she has saved $24, which is three-fourths of the total cost of the game. How much does the game cost?
Let's assume the total cost of the game is represented by the variable c.
According to the given information, Carmen has saved $24, which is three-fourths (or 3/4) of the total cost.
This can be represented as the equation:
(3/4)c = $24
To find the total cost of the game, we can isolate c by multiplying both sides of the equation by (4/3):
c = $24 * (4/3)
Calculating this, we get:
c = $32
Therefore, the game costs $32.
A fish tank has a volume of
53
gal
.
Use the table of conversion facts to find out how many cubic feet of water it would take to completely fill the fish tank.
Round your answer to two decimal places.
To convert gallons to cubic feet, we can use the conversion factor that 1 gallon is equal to 0.133680556 cubic feet.
Therefore, to find out how many cubic feet of water it would take to completely fill the fish tank with a volume of 53 gallons, we can multiply 53 gallons by the conversion factor:
53 gallons * 0.133680556 cubic feet/gallon = 7.08 cubic feet
Rounded to two decimal places, it would take approximately 7.08 cubic feet of water to completely fill the fish tank.
After a big rain, the area of the surface of the local reservoir was

ac
.
Use the facts to find the area of the surface of the reservoir in hectares
ha
.
To convert acres to hectares, we can use the conversion factor that 1 acre is equal to 0.404686 hectares.
Therefore, to find the area of the surface of the reservoir in hectares, we can multiply 106 acres by the conversion factor:
106 acres * 0.404686 hectares/acre = 42.868316 hectares
Therefore, the area of the surface of the reservoir is approximately 42.87 hectares.
The Trans bought a
$295,000
townhome. They made a down payment of
$46,000
and took out a mortgage for the rest. Over the course of
15
years they made monthly payments of
$2101.21
on their mortgage until it was paid off.
(a) What was the total amount they ended up paying for the townhome (including the down payment and monthly payments)?
$
(b) How much interest did they pay on the mortgage?
$
(a) To calculate the total amount they ended up paying for the townhome (including the down payment and monthly payments), we need to add the down payment and the total amount paid over the course of the mortgage.
Down payment: $46,000
Total mortgage payments: $2101.21 * 12 months/year * 15 years = $453,217.80
Total amount paid: $46,000 + $453,217.80 = $499,217.80
Therefore, the total amount they ended up paying for the townhome is $499,217.80.
(b) To calculate the amount of interest they paid on the mortgage, we need to subtract the mortgage principal (the amount borrowed) from the total amount paid.
Mortgage principal: $295,000 - $46,000 = $249,000
Interest paid: Total amount paid - Mortgage principal = $499,217.80 - $249,000 = $250,217.80
Therefore, they paid $250,217.80 in interest on the mortgage.
Josh's uncle from Japan promised to give him
14g of gold. The local jewelry exchange will buy gold for
$1346 per ounce. How much money can Josh get for selling the gold?
Use 1oz=28g and do not round any computations.
To calculate how much money Josh can get for selling the gold, we need to convert the weight of the gold from grams to ounces and then multiply it by the price per ounce.
Given:
Weight of the gold: 14g
Exchange rate: 1oz = 28g
Price per ounce: $1346
First, we convert the weight of the gold from grams to ounces:
14g / 28g/oz = 0.5 oz
Now, we can calculate the amount of money Josh can get for selling the gold by multiplying the weight in ounces by the price per ounce:
0.5 oz * $1346/oz = $673
Therefore, Josh can get $673 for selling the gold.
Answer the questions below.
(a)The area of a rectangular parking lot is
4104m^2
.
If the width of the parking lot is
54m
, what is its length?
Length of the parking lot:
(b)The perimeter of a rectangular pool is
332m
.
If the length of the pool is
88m
, what is its width?
Width of the pool:
Well? What is the answer?
(a) To find the length of the parking lot, we can divide the area of the parking lot by its width:
Length = Area / Width = 4104m^2 / 54m = 76m
Therefore, the length of the parking lot is 76m.
(b) To find the width of the pool, we can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:
Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width)
Given that the perimeter is 332m and the length is 88m, we can substitute these values into the equation:
332m = 2 * (88m + Width)
Solving for the Width:
332m = 176m + 2 * Width
2 * Width = 332m - 176m
2 * Width = 156m
Width = 156m / 2
Width = 78m
Therefore, the width of the pool is 78m.

Width of the garden :
(b)The area of a rectangular window is
8342cm^2
.
If the width of the window is
86cm
, what is its length?
Length of the window :
(a) To find the width of the garden, we can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:
Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width)
Given that the perimeter is 258m and the length is 74m, we can substitute these values into the equation:
258m = 2 * (74m + Width)
Solving for the Width:
258m = 148m + 2 * Width
2 * Width = 258m - 148m
2 * Width = 110m
Width = 110m / 2
Width = 55m
Therefore, the width of the garden is 55m.
(b) To find the length of the window, we can divide the area of the window by its width:
Length = Area / Width = 8342cm^2 / 86cm = 97cm
Therefore, the length of the window is 97cm.

Width of the field :
(b)The perimeter of a rectangular painting is
238cm
.
If the width of the painting is
54cm
, what is its length?
Length of the painting :
(a) To find the width of the field, we can divide the area of the field by its length:
Width = Area / Length = 5642m^2 / 91m = 62m
Therefore, the width of the field is 62m.
(b) To find the length of the painting, we can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:
Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width)
Given that the perimeter is 238cm and the width is 54cm, we can substitute these values into the equation:
238cm = 2 * (Length + 54cm)
Solving for the Length:
238cm = 108cm + 2 * Length
2 * Length = 238cm - 108cm
2 * Length = 130cm
Length = 130cm / 2
Length = 65cm
Therefore, the length of the painting is 65cm.
The circumference of a circular garden is
97
feet. What is the diameter of the garden?
Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
To find the diameter of the circular garden, we can use the formula for circumference:
Circumference = π * diameter
Given that the circumference is 97 feet, we can set up the equation:
97 = π * diameter
To solve for the diameter, we divide both sides of the equation by π:
diameter = 97 / π
Using a value of π ≈ 3.14159, we can calculate:
diameter ≈ 97 / 3.14159 ≈ 30.873 feet
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the diameter of the garden is approximately 30.87 feet.

The circumference of a circular lot is 288 yards. What is the radius of the lot?
Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
To find the radius of the circular lot, we can use the formula for circumference:
Circumference = 2π * radius
Given that the circumference is 288 yards, we can set up the equation:
288 = 2π * radius
To solve for the radius, we divide both sides of the equation by 2π:
radius = 288 / (2π)
Using a value of π ≈ 3.14159, we can calculate:
radius ≈ 288 / (2 * 3.14159) ≈ 45.815
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the radius of the lot is approximately 45.82 yards.
