The value of x when y = 14 is 8.4
<h3 />
<h3>How to solve variation ?</h3>
y, varies directly as x. Therefore,
y ∝ x
Therefore,
y = kx
where
- k =constant of proportionality
Therefore,
10 = 6k
k = 10 / 6
k = 5 / 3
Hence, when y = 14
y = kx
14 = 5 / 3 x
cross multiply
42 = 5x
x = 42 / 5
x = 8.4

1.04 * 3 = 3.12
Answer:
41,600yd's is the area....
What is the full question? This is just a statement.
Just measure the width (or height, if you'll be stacking the pennies
a mile high) of a penny, then divide 5280 feet by whatever you find.
This is a great activity for a class, and in fact a good way to start
the project. First take one penny, and work out an answer. Then get
100 pennies, and measure them; do the same calculation to see how many
pennies it will take to make a mile. There will probably be a
difference, because you can measure 100 pennies more accurately than a
single penny. Or maybe you have a micrometer that will measure one
penny precisely. Which is better can be a good discussion starter. And
don't forget to try it in metric, too.
Just to illustrate, using a very rough estimate of a penny's width,
let's say a penny is about 3/4 inch wide. The number of pennies in a
mile will be
5280 ft 12 in 1 penny
1 mile * ------- * ----- * ------- = 5280 * 12 * 4/3 pennies
1 mi 1 ft 3/4 in
This gives about 84,480 pennies. (This method of doing calculations
with units is very helpful, and would be worth teaching.)
If we measure 100 pennies as 6 ft 1 in, we will get
5280 ft 100 pennies
1 mile * ------- * ----------- = 5280 * 100 * 12 / 73 pennies
1 mi 6 1/12 ft
This gives us 86794.5205 pennies in a mile.
