Alandscaping company order 8 tons of gravel. it sells the gravelin 50 pound bags. how many pounds of gravel did the company order?

16,000

Step-by-step explanation:

2,000x8=16,000

false.

step-by-step explanation:

false.

cavalieri's principle makes that statement about the volumes, not about the areas.

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation
