The weight, w, of a certain substance varies directly with the volume, v, of the substance.
w = kv
-----------------------
Solve for "k".
-----------------------
If the weight of a sample of substance is 35 grams and the volume of the sample is 56 milliliters, what is the equation that represents the relationship between w and v???
35 = k*56
k = 35/56
----
Equation:
w = (35/56)v
