There is a few ways to do this but I am going to use the variation equation.

Variation Equation:
y = kx
First we need to find k, which is the constant of variation
5 = k50
5/50 = k
1/10 = k
k= 1/10

Now that we have found the constant of variation, we can find how much the spring will stretch with 170 pounds.
y = kx
y = (1/10) times 170 = 17 inches

A container of coffee is 1/6 full. That container contains 2/3 of a pound of coffee write a division expression that represents
Marizza181 [45]

Let us assume total capacity of the container = x pounds.

Container contains 1/6th coffee of total x pounds,  that is x/6 pounds.

We also given that 1/6th part is equal to 2/3 of a pound.

So, we could setup an equation now.

x/6 pounds equals 2/3 of a pound.

\frac{x}{6} = \frac{2}{3}

Dividing both sides by 1/6, we get

\frac{x}{6} ÷ \frac{1}{6} = \frac{2}{3} ÷\frac{1}{6}.

Therefore,  x = \frac{2}{3} ÷\frac{1}{6}

Division expression that represents the capacity of the container = 2/3 ÷ 1/6.
