The constant of variation is 1.3 kg per m³

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct variation is when one variable is equal to a constant times

another variable, with no additions or subtractions alongside

If y is directly proportional with x, then

y ∝ x
y = k x, where k is the constant of variation
The graph of the variation is a line passes through the origin

∵ The weight of air is directly proportional to its volume

∴ The weight (w) ∝ the volume (v)

∴ w = k v

∵ w = 13 kg

∵ v = 10 m³

- Substitute these values in the rule of variation above to find k

∴ 13 = k (10)

∴ 13 = 10 k

- Divide both sides by 10

∴ k = 1.3

The constant of variation is 1.3 kg per m³

100 textbooks increased by 99%

Gala2k [10]

<span>100 textbooks increased by 99%

Do this:

First, make 99% a decimal, to do this, you must divide 99 by 100

you get 0.99

multiply 0.99 by 100

you get 99

then, add 99 to 100 and you get 199

so the total sum is 199!!

Hope this helped!

The surface areas of two similar figures are 25 in2 and 36 in2. If the volume of the smaller figure is 250 in3, what is the volu

Slav-nsk [51]

Since the figures are similar, we can establish a rule of three as follows.
We know that the area of the smaller figure is $25in^{2}$ , and its volume is $250in^{3}$ . We also know that the area of the larger figure is $36in^{2}$ ; since we don't now its volume, lets represent it with $X$ :
$\frac{25in^{2}----\ \textgreater \ 250in^{3}}{36in^{2}----\ \textgreater \ Xin^{3}}$
$\frac{25}{36} = \frac{250}{X}$
$X= \frac{(250)(36)}{25}$
$X=360$

We can conclude that the volume of the larger figure is $360in^{3}$ ; therefore, the correct answer is a.
