Question 684588: A pleasant day to you Sir / Madam, please help me with these word problems about direct variation. Thank you very much for your help!
The length a spring will stretch varies directly with the weight attached to the spring. If a spring stretches 3.6 cm when 44 kilograms is attached, how far will it stretch when 25 kilograms is attached?
Again, thank you so much to anyone who can help. Answer by MathLover1(20850) (Show Source):
