<PRE><B>Question 1025729</B>
a varies directly as b; and a = 4 when b = 24
a) write an equation that relates a and b
a = k*b
Solve for &quot;k&quot;
4 = k*24
k = 1/6
Equation:
a = (1/6)b
---------------------

b)find a when b=63
a = (1/6)*63 = 63/6 = 10 1/2
----------------------------- 
c) find b when a=7
7 = (1/6)b
b = 6*7 = 42
--------------------
