15 minutes later.... Okay. Here's another problem.

Johnny earns $594 when he works
Didn't I told you I'd hit you 69?
Why'd ya hit me! twenty-two hours. How much would
with a book every time you he earn if he were to work thirty-

didn't recheck your formula? seven hours?

 Hit you with a book, book, book!

Now you're just guessing!
Right. Okay so to solve for k, let's
Fine, let's go through it
Hahaha! Fine1 It's find k by make 22 as x, and 594 as y. If we
together. What's the first divide 594 by 22 we'll get 27. Now
dividing y by x

thing you should do? 27 is our constant!

If Johnny works for 37 hours, 37

hours will be our x. The only thing Yup! Why is that the case
It's because both x and y are though?
We're gonna use y=kx we need to find is our y. What directly proportional. So if x

formula are we gonna use? increases, y also increases.

 Hit you with a book, book, book!

Since our k is equal to 27, That's correct! If he works for 37
That's going to be 999 right? and our x is equal to 37, Of course I am! Gimme hours he'll get 999 dollars. That's a

we'll need to multiply 27 another problem I'll ace it lot in my book! Speaking of book, bet
for sure! you're glad ya didn't get hit with a
and 37.


book again huh.

A car uses 8 liters of gasoline to We already know that our y is

Okay let y be 160, and let x travel 160km. How much gasoline 400, so what's formula that
be 8. If we 160 by 8, it will be It's going to be the same we're going to use to find x?
will the car use to travel 400km?
thing as earlier, y=kx!

20. So k will be 20

 Hit you with a book, book, book!

You already know our See! I told you I'd ace it!
Oh god. So you think you're a genius
Yup! It's going to be x = 20! Because answer for this right?
now huh, Mr. Confident? Either way,
if we substitute, we will get 400 =
I'm getting pizza!
20 times x which is 20.

Hit me with another one! 4 workers take 3 hours to finish the Let x be 4, and let 3 be y. To

Wait... The numbers aren't adding up, how

answer will be y = 0.75......??

Ya got it wrong boy genius!

But how?! I used the

Yeah you did use the proper formula
Ughhhhhh stop with the books!!! proper formula for inverse
variation! to get y, BUT! You were wrong about

getting the constant!

 Hit you with a book, book, book!

You find k in direct variation by
using the formula k=y/x. But for It probably is! The correct answer
Wait... That's probably why I keep Ohhh! Then that would mean that is 2 hours! Because k is actually 12,
inverse variation, you should use
messing up inverse variations! if I had divided 12 by 6, then it since 4 times 3 is 12.
k=xy!

would be 2. It really is 2 hours!

You finally got it correct! Hey since Haha! See! For a math wiz,
you're a boy genius now, how about you sure suck at
Sure! If I were you I'd answer as best as I quizzing me on some important remembering important

End.
