Given:
Eighteen 2.5 gallon buckets are needed to fill a cistern with water.
To find:
The constant of variation.
Solution:
If y is directly proportional to x, then
Where, k is constant of variation.
In the given problem, water in cistern (w) is directly proportional to number of buckets (n).
(Capacity of each bucket is 2.5 gallons)
Therefore, the constant of variation is 2.5.
