Suppose the lengths of two strings are 10 centimeters and 17 centimeters. describe how the lengths of these two strings compare

Length of one string is 7 cm less than the length of second string. OR Length of second string is 7 cm longer than length of one string.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  lengths of two strings are 10 centimeters and 17 centimeters.

To find  : Describe how the lengths of these two strings compare.

Solution : We have given that

Length of one string  =10 cm.

Length of second string  = 17 cm

We can compare both length in many way

Length of one string is 7 cm less than the length of second string.

OR

Length of second string is 7 cm longer than length of one string.

Therefore, Length of one string is 7 cm less than the length of second string. OR Length of second string is 7 cm longer than length of one string.

option 1 is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

y varies inversely with x and constant of variation is 4

the equation will be:

y = k/x

where k =4 so,

y = 4/x

if we put values of x of option 1 in the above equation and find values of y

y = 4/-2 => y =-2

y = 4/-1 => y = -4

y = 4/1 => y = 4

y = 4/2 => y =2

so, all the values of x and y are correct.

if we put values of x given in other options and find value of y we cannot find whole table satisfying the equation.

hence option 1 is correct.

it would be 6xy and -16xy.
