Question 903835: I wanted to know if I solved this problem correctly?
T varies directly as S. If T = 12 when S = 40 determine T when S = 10
T=KS
T = K*S Write the value of T making it
12= k*40 after that step, divide bother sides by 40 = 40k/40 to find K: 12/40 =k
12/40= k Then take 12/40 and break it down to the simplest form by finding a common
3/10=k
Determine T when S =10
We determine that K =3/10
T = kS; for S =10
T = 3/10*10 we divide 10 on both sides
T = 30/10 then we divide 30 by 10
T = 3

What help do you need?

The only trouble in your work is that you ignored case-level for your variables.

You have the correct direct variation constant () and the correct value of T ()

Nice work on both and showing the correct steps.
