Problems
Write an equation of variation to represent the situation and solve for the indicated
information.

number ofinches x in the measurement. Pablos height is 152.4 centimeters or 60
inches. What isMarias height in centimeters if she is 64 inches tall?

interestvaries directly with the amount deposited, how much would Wei receive for
the sameamount of time if she had $2000 in the account?
