Determine the constant of variation for the stated condition.
-$c$ varies directly as a and inversely as $b$, and $c = 5$ when $a = 60$ and $b = 25$.
A) $\mathrm { k } = \frac { 25 } { 12 }$
B) $\mathrm { k } = \frac { 12 } { 25 }$
C) $\mathrm { k } = 25$
D) $\mathrm { k } = 5$ Find the variation equation for the variation statement.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The variation equation is $ c = k \frac{a}{b} $. Substituting the given values, $ 5 = k \frac{60}{25} $. Solving for $ k $, we get $ k = \frac{25}{12} $.
