A direct variation suggest that the value of x in the equation would greatly affect the value of y such that when x is increasing, y also increases and the other way around. The equation for a direct variation is that,
y = kx
Substituting the given values in the ordered pair,
5 = k(4) ; k = 5/4
Answer:
a) 3/5 < 4/5
b) In general if two fractions have the same denominator, then whichever fraction has the numerator closer to its denominator will be the largest fraction.
c) <em>or</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 3/5 < 4/5
Flip the sign and the placement of the fraction so 3/5 is less then 4/5.
b) In general if two fractions have the same denominator, then whichever fraction has the numerator closer to its denominator will be the largest fraction.
c) We need to change the denominators to a common denominator to compare the size of the two fractions:
× =
× =
The common denominators of the two fractions is 30. Comparing the two fractions:
<em>or</em>
so we get: <em>or</em>
Haileys work is correct so B should be the right answer
14.75 depending on if the model is 8 & the actual is 1 in the 1:8 scale factor because you would just multiply the actual by 8 because it is the scale factor. the answer could also be .23 is the model is 1 & the actual is 8 because you would divide the actual by 8! hope this helps!!
