If D varies directly with t and D is 108 when t is 4, find D when t is 7.
D\(\alpha\)t
D=kt
108=k(4)
108=4k
k=\(\frac{108}{4}\)
k=27
The equation connecting D and t is;
D=27t
When t=7,
D=27*7
D= 189
Answer:
189
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : D varies directly with t and D is 108 when t is 4
To Find: Find D when t is 7
Solution:
D varies directly with t
D ∝ t
So, \(D=kt\)
where k is the constant of proportionality
Now we are given that D is 108 when t is 4
So, \(108=k(4)\)
\(\frac{108}{4}=k\)
\(27=k\)
Thus the constant of proportionality i.e. k = 27
So, \(D=27t\)
Now substitute t = 7
So, \(D=27(7)\)
\(D=189\)
So, D = 189 when t = 7
