The mean of 5 numbers is 6.
The numbers are in the ratio 1 : 3 : 3 : 4 : 4.
Find the numbers.

2, 6, 6, 8, 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is calculated as

mean = , thus

= 6 ( multiply both sides by 5 )

sum = 30

sum the parts of the ratio, 1 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 4 = 15 parts

30 ÷ 15 = 2 ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus

3 parts = 3 × 2 = 6

4 parts = 4 × 2 = 8

Thus the 5 numbers are

2, 6, 6, 8, 8

1.4

2.3

step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the constant of variation is

y= kx

divide each side by x

y/x =kx/x

y/x =k

we know a and y

1.   y/x = k

4/1 =4

check the other values to make sure they are the same

8/2 = 4   12/3 =4   and 16/4 =4  

the constant of variation is 4

2.   y/x = k

3/1 =3

check the other values to make sure they are the same

6/2 = 3   9/3 =3   and 12/4 =3  

the constant of variation is 3
