Campers = y and counselors = x.....1 counselor to 5 campers
y = kx
k = y/x
k = 5/1
y = 5x
lets check..
y = 5x....lets say u have 2 counselors...sub in 2 for x
y = 5(2)
y = 10....so when there is 2 counselors, there are 10 campers
y = 5x...lets say u have 3 counselors...sub in 3 for x
y = 5(3)
y = 15...so when there are 3 counselors, there are 15 campers
2/10 reduces to 1/5
3/15 reduces to 1/5
so yes, this is a direct variation with ur equation being y = 5x

Answer:
12 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of the base to the other sides is ...
4 : 7 : 7
The perimeter is a total of 4 +7 +7 = 18 ratio units, so each ratio units stands for 54/18 = 3 length units.
The base length is then ...
(4 ratio units)(3 length units/ratio unit) = 12 length units
