Question

The total operating cost to run the organic strawberry farm varies directly with its number of acres. What is the constant of variation in this scenario?

Answer 1

old question but will respond so this can be closed

for a direct variation y = kx, y varies directly with x
where y is the independent variable and x is the dependent variable

applying this logic to our problem: (cost to run the farm) = k(number of acres)

solve for k (the constant of variation) and think about what that means in the context of the problem
