<h3>Answer: 6 inches</h3>

===========================================

Explanation:

x = amount (in inches) the spring is stretched

y = force applied (in pounds)

y = kx for some constant k, since x and y vary directly

---------------

Plug in the given info that x = 5 and y = 150 pair up together

Solve for k

150 = k*5

150/5 = k

k = 30

The equation goes from y = kx to y = 30x. Whatever the stretching distance (x) is, you multiply by 30 to get the force needed (y) to pull the spring.

---------------

Plug in y = 180 to solve for x

y = 30x

180 = 30x

30x = 180

x = 180/30

x = 6

The spring will be stretched 6 inches if you apply a force of 180 pounds.

julsineya [31]

Answer:

There are 11 numbers divisible by 9 between 1 and 100, and 25 numbers divisible by 4 between 1 and 100.
