A. Express each of the following statements as an equation. Use k to represent the constant of variation. (RX1)
1. The weight (W) of pure water varies directly as its volume (V).
2. m is directly proportional to r.
3. The area (A) of a circle varies directly as the square of its radius (r).
5. C varies directly as the square root of the sum of the squares of j and e.
B. Determine the constant proportionality of direct variation. (Show your solution.) (Rx2).
C. Solve direct variation with the second variable is unknown. (Show your solution.) (Rx3).
1. The distance an automobile travels varies directly as the time. If an automobile travels 140km in 5
hours, how far will it go in 12 hours?
2. A car consumes 14 liters of gasoline to travel a distance of 180 km. How much gasoline will the car
consumes to travel 400km?
3. The amount of money solicited at a fundraising campaign is directly proportional to the number of
attendees. The amount of money solicited for 4 attendees is 35,000 pesos. How much money was
solicited for 30 attendees?
4. The mass of a substance is directly proportional to its volume. If a block with a volume of 14 𝑐𝑚3
has a mass of 35 grams, what is the mass of a block with a volume of 18 𝑐𝑚3 ?
5. The force at the bottom of a swimming pool varies directly as the depth. If the force is 624,000
pounds when the water is 2 ft deep, find the force when the water is 4.5 ft deep?
