@satellite73

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

i did some research and found it was about 45 meters

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

can u tell me how u got that answer

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/vents/nemo1998/education/pressure.html pressure increases by 14.6 for every 10 meters in depth

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

ok but i got the answer wrong

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

well what units are they looking for?

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

i posted everything on here thats y i did a screen shot

OpenStudy (primeralph):

@jazzyfa30 From what I remember, there's some information above the screen that you showed in another question you posted. It might be important to this question.

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

ok hold on ill screen shoot it for you

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

did that help

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

try 10* (65-14.6)/14.6 = 34.5 meters or convert to feet 113.2 ft

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

wow you had the relationship right there the whole time lol p = 0.43d --> 65 = .43d --> d = 151.16

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

nope @johnweldon1993 help please

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Right....remember that lsat question where we found the equation for this?? P = .43d ? Well now...we have a P value ...and we want to solve for 'd' so \[\large 65 = 0.43d\] and solve for 'd'

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

umm subtract

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Nope...remember you want to isolate 'd'...you don't want .43d...you want d...so you would divide both sides by .43 right?

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

ohhh ok

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

And you get that D = ???

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

d = 151.16

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

That would be correct :)

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

but its saying thats wrong

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Round to the nearest whole number...

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

oh my goodness...instructions say round

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

ohhh so its 152

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

no 151

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

does 151.16 round up to 152?? or round down to 151 Haha right 151 :)

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

what about these 4

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

Varying Directly \[\large y = kx\] Varying Jointly \[\large y = kxz\] Varying Inversely \[\large y = \frac{ k }{ x }\] Sorry gotta run again....hopefully someone else can help you with this...I'll be back in a bit...

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

@e.cociuba

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which one are you doing?

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

the very last screen shot i posted

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(y\) varies inversely as \(x\) and \(y=2\) when \(x=25\) that one?

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok then first step is to write \[y=\frac{k}{x}\] and find (k\) with \[2=\frac{k}{25}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this tells you \(k=50\) and so \(y=\frac{50}{x}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now you got to solve \[40=\frac{50}{x}\] giving \(x=\frac{50}{40}=\frac{5}{4}=1.25\)

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

so my answer is x=1.25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is what i get, yes

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

ok what about the nxt one

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

@johnweldon1993

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

please hurry i gtg in a min and this has to be turned in tonight

OpenStudy (jazzyfa30):

@satellite73

OpenStudy (johnweldon1993):

For that last one you can set up a proportion...you know that distance = rate * time...and they traveled the same distance so \[\large 40 \space \text{miles per hour} \times .25 \space \text{of an hour} = x \times .33 \space \text{of an hour}\] so what is 40 times .25? and divide that by the .33 to get...?
