Four gallons of water weigh 33.4 lb

Find the constant of variation.

Answer 1

`k = 8.35`

Explanation:

Given

`Gallons = 4`

`Weight = 33.4lb`

Required

Determine the constant of variation (k)

This is calculated by dividing the weight of gallons by the number of gallon.

`k = (Weight)/(Gallons)`

Substitute values for Gallons and Weight

`k = (33.4)/(4)`

`k = 8.35`

This means that 1 gallon weighs 8.35lb
