1. If y varies directly as x, and x=4 when y=12, find the value of x when y=36.
Using the direct variation formula, x2 is calculated to be 12.
2. Martha sells boiled corn. Each corn costs ₱10. How many pieces of corn can be bought with 100?
Letting x = number of corn, the calculation shows x2 = 10 pieces of corn can be bought.
3. Eight men can build a bungalow house in 20 days. How many days would it take 6 men to do the same job?
Using the direct variation formula, it would take 6 men 26.6 days to do the same
