You can put this solution on YOUR website!
m varies directly with n; m = 144 when n = 8.
"m varies directly with n" means m=kn (k is the constant of proportionality)
let m=144 and n=8 and solve for k
144=k%288%29
144%2F8=k%288%29%2F8
18=k
Therefore, letting k=18, the formula is:
highlight%28m=18n%29
Happy Calculating!!!
