Answer 4

Is my 72 right?

Answer 5

ohh ahemm \(\bf \begin{array}{cccllll}
\textit{something }&\textit{varies directly to }&\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\
\textit{something }&={\color{red}{ \textit{some value }}}&\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\
y&={\color{red}{ n}}&x&\implies y={\color{red}{ n}}x
\end{array}\\ \quad \\
x=60\qquad y=24\qquad 60={\color{red}{ n}}(24)\)

solve for "n" to find the "constant of variation"

is not 72 though

Answer 6

ummmmm

Answer 7

hmm lemme recheck that... maybe I got my units mixed up =(

Answer 8

... nope, I think they're ok

Answer 9

I still don't understand. That's not the equation I was given and when I did mine I got 72

Answer 10

is it 144?

Answer 11

nope... I'm afraid 72 makes sense to me

since 3 * 60 is 180 thus 3 * 24 will be 72

making the constant of variation = 3

I'm thinking I may have the output as the input up there

Answer 12

So it is 72 then

Answer 13

it makes logical sense.... trying to see ... what's off in the procedure

Answer 14

Thank you.

Answer 15

anyhow... , I was using "x" as the given in the function, thus
but the function above is correct

Answer 16

\(\bf y=\cfrac{5}{2}x\qquad y=180\implies 180=\cfrac{5}{2}x\implies 72=x\)

Answer 17

Thanks.
