- The time required to empty a pool varies inversely as the rate of pumping. It took Lucy 2.5 hours to empty her pool using a pump that was rated at 400 gpm (gallons per minute). a. Write the equation of variation. b. How long will it take her to empty the pool using a pump rated at 500 gpm?arrow_forwardThe force needed to break a board varies inversely with its length. If Tom uses 20 pounds of pressure to break a 1 .5-foot long board, how many pounds of pressure would he need to use to break a 6 foot long board?arrow_forwardThe distance a moving body travels, d, varies directly with time, t, it moves. A train travels 100 miles in 2 hours a. Write the equation that relates d and t. b. How many miles would it travel in 5 hours?arrow_forward
- Solve the equation for the indicated variable. wd=rTH; for Tarrow_forwardThe distance an object falls is directly proportional to the square of the time it falls. A ball falls 144 feet in 3 seconds. a. Write the equation that relates the distance to the time. b. How far will an object fall in 4 seconds?arrow_forwardThe number of hours it takes for ice to melt varies inversely with the air temperature. Suppose a block of ice melts in 2 hours when the temperature is 65 degrees Celsius. (a) Write the equation of variation. (b) How many hours would it take for the same block of ice to melt if the temperature was 78 degrees?arrow_forward
- A landscaping company is hired to mow the grass for several large properties. The total area of the properties combined is 1,350 acres. The rate at which one person can mow is as follows: Ŷ = -1.8X + 1350Where X is the number of hours and Ŷ represents the number of acres left to mow.a. How many acres will be left to mow after 40 hours of work by one person?b. How many acres will be left to mow after 100 hours of work by one person? (now you see why you need a large crew to mow many acres!)arrow_forwardA landscaping company is hired to mow the grass for several large properties. The total area of the properties combined is 1,350 acres. The rate at which one person can mow is as follows: Ŷ = -1.2X + 1350Where X is the number of hours and Ŷ represents the number of acres left to mow.a. How many acres will be left to mow after 20 hours of work? How many acres will be left to mow after 100 hours of work?arrow_forwardUse the chart to get the answers to the question.

- Mark found that the daily demand for his company's new design of sunglasses was inversely proportional to the price, p. When the price per pair of sunglasses is $7, the daily demand is 1,200 pairs. What is the demand if the price is raised to $10?arrow_forwardMax used the equation y= 300(1.15) to predict how a. What is Max original credit card bill? much he has to pay on his credit card bill if he does not make any payments each month. a. ¿Qué es la factura máxima de la tarjeta de crédito original? x represents months y represents the amount he owes b. How much will money will Max owe if he does not pay off his balance for 5 months? Max usó la ecuación y 300(1.15)* para predecir cuánto tiene que pagar en la factura de su tarjeta de crédito si no hace ningún pago cada mes. !! b. ¿Cuánto dinero deberá Max si no paga su saldo durante 5 meses? x representa meses y representa la cantidad que debe Submit DELLarrow_forward4. Jamie has $1.65 to spend on bubble gum. Each stick of gum costs $0.15. a) Write an equation showing the relationship between the total cost in dollars, C and the number of sticks of gum purchased, n. c=25& d 0115+2=1.65 c) 0.15X11= $1.65 b) If Jamie wanted to buy 9 sticks, how much money would he need to use? 0.15×9 C= $13.5 - $1.65 =117 [5] What is the most number of sticks of gum that Jamie can buy with her budget? 11.
