The amount of blood in a person's body varies directly with body weight. A person who weighs 160 lb has about 4.6 qt of blood. A

bout how many quarts of blood are in the body of a 175-lb person?
-How can you find the constant of variation?
-Can you write an equation that relates quarts of blood to weight?
-How can you use the equation to determine solution?

The statements expresses as
w <span>∝ b
where w = body's weight, b = amount of blood

Changing it into a direct variation becomes
w = kb    or   k = w/b
where k = proportionality constant

We know that k is obviously constant, we equation it into two states as
w</span>₁/b₁ = w₂/b₂

Given that w₁ = 160 lb, b₁ = 4.6 qt, b₂ = 175, w₂ = 175 lb. Then b₂ will be
160/4.6 = 175/b₂
b₂ = 160/(4.6*175) = 160/805 = 0.20 quarts

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that amount of blood is directly linked to body weight of the person.

b\propto W

b=kW

\frac{b}{W}=k

b = Amount of blood

W = weight of the person

k = proportionality constant or constant of variation

1) Given that, person who weighs 160 lb has about 4.6 quart of blood.

b = 4.6 quart, W = 160 lb

k=\frac{b}{W}=\frac{4.6 quart}{160 lb}=0.02875 quart/lb

The constant of variation is of value 0.02875 quart/lb.

2) An equation that relates quarts of blood to weight:

b=0.02875 quart/lb\times W

3) If, b = ?,W = 175 lb

b=0.02875 quart/lb\times W

b=0.02875 quart/lb\times 175 lb=5.03125 quart

5.03125 quarts of blood are in the body of a 175-lb person.
