"Vary directly" is another way of saying "directly proportional".

In simple English, this just means, as one increases, the other increases too.

a = 6

b = 4

The question says find out what a is when b is 16.

First, lets find how many times larger b has gotten.

16/4 = 4

b had gotten 4 times bigger to go from b=4 to b=16

If a is varying directly, it means that it will also get 4 times bigger.

Therefore, a = 6 x 4 = 24

You have 2 triangles and 3 rectangles.
Start with a triangle:
area is base side * height / 2 -> 4 * 3 / 2 = 6
The other triangle has the same area: 6

First rectangle: side * other side -> 7 * 5 = 35
Second rectangle: 7 * 4 = 28
Third rectangle: 7 * 3 = 21

Now simply add all this together: 6+6+35+28+21 = 96

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

The number of each kind of apartment in the building is 130 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The total number of floor in a building = 15

The number of apartment on each floor = 26

So, The total number of apartment = 26 × 15 = 390

The number of kinds of apartment in the building is 3 , i.e 1-bedroom , 2-bedroom , 3-bedroom

Let The number of each kind of apartment in building = x

So, According to question

The number of each kind of building = $\dfrac{\textrm Total number of apartment }{number of kinds of apartment}$

or, x = $\frac{390}{3}$

∴ x = 130

Hence The number of each kind of apartment in the building is 130 . Answer
