Question

M varies directly as n, and m=14 when n=7 a) Write an equation that relates m and n b) find m when n=16 c) find n when m=30

Answer 1

Answer:a)m =K n

b)m = 32

c)n=15

Step-by-step explanation:

M varies directly as n can be expressed mathematically as

m ∝ n

Introducing the constant of proportionality, K, we have that

m =K n

Now when m=14 and n=7, K becomes

14=K X 7

K=14/7 = 2

b) find m when n=16

m =K n

m = 2 x 16=32

c) find n when m=30

m =K n

30=2 x n

n=30/2 =15
