Find an equation of combined variation. Then solve for the missing value.

b varies directly as c and inversely as d.

One set of values is b = 5.75, c = 2.3, and d = 0.3.

Find b when c = 0.5 and d = 0.15.

Find an equation of combined variation. Then solve for the missing value.

a varies directly as b and inversely as c.

One set of values is a = 14, b = 14, and c = 6.

Find a when b = 4 and c = 8.

Find an equation of combined variation. Then solve for the missing value.

p varies directly as q and inversely as r.

One set of values is p = 5, q = 1, and r = 2.

Find p when q = 10 and r = 50.

Find an equation of joint variation. Then solve for the missing value.

f varies jointly as g, h, and j.

One set of values is f = 18, g = 4, h = 3, and j = 5.

Find f when g = 5, h = 12, and j = 3.

    Here are 4 equations which can get you organized. The K will probably be different for each problem and while it's good to find the value of K, that isn't what they want in the end.

    I. b = Kc(1/d)

    II. a = Kb(1/c)

    III. p = Kq(1/r)

    IV. f = Kghj

    example of how to finish: IV:

    f = Kghj

    18 = K(4)(3)(5), so K = 0.3

    then

    f = (0.3)(5)(12)(3) = 54

    b=kc/d

    k=bd/c=5.75*0.3/2.3

    =0.75

    b=0.75*0.5/0.15=2.5

    get the point?
