Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let the speed of one plane=x mph
speed of other plane=x+120 mph
x×1.5+(x+120)×1.5=1620
(x+x+120)×1.5=1620
(2x+120)×1.5=1620
3x+180=1620
3x=1620-180
3x=1440
x=480
speed of one plane=480 mph
speed of second plane=480+120=600 mph
Given:
Eighteen 2.5 gallon buckets are needed to fill a cistern with water.
To find:
The constant of variation.
Solution:
If y is directly proportional to x, then


Where, k is constant of variation.
In the given problem, water in cistern (w) is directly proportional to number of buckets (n).

(Capacity of each bucket is 2.5 gallons)
Therefore, the constant of variation is 2.5.
