Answer: 29 cans.
Step-by-step explanation:
20 can survive 24 days with 15 cans.
If X is the number of days that a man can survive with one can of rations.
so X is in the units can/day
then we have that:
24/15*X = 20
X = 20*15/24 = 12.5
This means that a man can live 12.5 days with a can of food.
then, for 16 men and 36 days we have:
(36/C)*12.5 = 16
C = (36/16)*12.5 = 28.1215
And we can not have a 0.1215 of a can, so we should round it up to 29 cans.
The lines mean that the number is going to become positive. |-178| will become positive meaning it will become= |178|
27x6x60=9,720 *You can use mental math by multiplying 27 by 6 and adding the 2 zeros to the end of the product*

Answer:
D) 45 and 1.2
Step-by-step explanation:
The "varies inversely" relationship is described by the equation ...
y = k/x . . . . . . y varies inversely with x (and vice versa)
The value of k can be found from known values of x and y:
xy = k . . . . . . multiply the above equation by x
(10)(6) = k = 60 . . . . using the given values
__
To check if a given pair of numbers satisfies ...
y = 60/x
you can multiply them together to see if the product is 60.
(A) 12×5 = 60
(B) 15×4 = 60
(C) 25×2.4 = 60
(D) 45×1.2 = 54 . . . . . not a possible pair of corresponding values.
45 and 1.2 are not a possible solution for x and y.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of people to paint the bridge is inversely proportional to the number of hours it takes.
(If there are more people, it will take less time etc.)
9 people can paint the bridge in 5 hours.
=> 2 people can paint the bridge in 5 * (9/2) = 22.5 hours.
