Answer:
Part 6) 177 boys
Part 7) a) 88 minutes b) 104.5 minutes
Part 8) 1 gallon
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form [tex]y/x=k[/tex] or [tex]y=kx[/tex]
Part 6)
Let
x ----> the number of girls taking classes at the school
y ----> the number of boys taking classes at the school
we know that
[tex]\frac{x}{y}=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{1}{3}y[/tex] ----> equation A
[tex]x+y=236[/tex] ----> equation B
substitute equation A in equation B and solve for y
[tex]\frac{1}{3}y+y=236[/tex]
[tex]\frac{4}{3}y=236[/tex]
[tex]y=236(3)/4[/tex]
[tex]y=177\ boys[/tex]
Part 7)
Let
s ----> the number of seats
m ---> the number of minutes
we know that
[tex]\frac{s}{m}=\frac{2}{11}[/tex] ---> equation A
Part a) At this rate, how long will it take to add 16 seats?
For s=16 seats
substitute in the equation A and solve for m
[tex]\frac{16}{m}=\frac{2}{11}[/tex]
[tex]m=16(11)/2[/tex]
[tex]m=88\ min[/tex]
Part b) At this rate, how long will it take to add 19 seats?
For s=19 seats
substitute in the equation A and solve for m
[tex]\frac{19}{m}=\frac{2}{11}[/tex]
[tex]m=19(11)/2[/tex]
[tex]m=104.5\ min[/tex]
Part 8)
Let
x ----> the number of gallons
y ----> the area is square feet
we know that
[tex]\frac{x}{y}=\frac{1}{350}[/tex] ----> equation A
step 1
Find the area of the fence
[tex]A=(26)(7)=182\ ft^2[/tex]
step 2
Determine how many gallons of paint Lisa will need
For y=182 ft^2
substitute in the equation A and solve for x
[tex]\frac{x}{182}=\frac{1}{350}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{182}{350}[/tex]
[tex]x=0.52\ gal[/tex]
Round to the nearest whole number
[tex]x= 1\ gal[/tex]
