WHAT’S NEW
Let’s start with this SIMPLE STORY.

Gulliver’s Travels
by Jonathan Swift
Lempel Gulliver is a surgeon who takes to the seas. He completes
many voyages without incident, but his final four journeys take him to some
of the strangest lands on the planet, where he discovers the virtues and
flaws in his own culture by comparing it with others.
One day a storm destroys the ship, leaving Gulliver as the sole
survivor of the wreck. He washes up on the shores of Lilliput, an island
populated by people only six inches tall. When the Lilliputians decided to
make a shirt for Gulliver, a Lilliputian tailor stated that he could determine
Gulliver’s measurements by simply measuring the distance around
Gulliver’s thumb. He said “Twice around the thumb equals once around the
wrist. Twice around the wrist is once around the neck. Twice around the
neck is once around the waist.

Using the tailor’s statement, Table 1shows the measurements of thumb, wrist

Example 1: Draw the graph of the following relationship and write an


equation that describes the relationship between the two variables.
a. Wrist (w) and thumb (t).
b. Waist (x) and neck (n)
c. Thumb (t) and neck (n)

Solution:
a. Wrist (w) and thumb (t):
Table1 shows the relationship between the distance around the
thumb t varies directly as the distance around the wrist w. Then the
mathematical equation describing the relation is 𝑤 = 2𝑡, where k = 2 is the
constant of variation.

Use the information from Table2 to make an ordered pair and draw
a graph of the relationship between the distance around the thumb (t) and
the distance around the wrist (w).

Plot the following ordered pair (or at least two ordered pair) that
represent the equation 𝑤 = 2𝑡 in the Cartesian coordinate plane and connect
it with a line segment. w

𝐤
The graph of inverse variation xy = k or 𝐲 = 𝐱 where k is the constant of
variation is a hyperbola it never passes through the origin, and never
crosses the x or y axis; the x and y axes are called the asymptotes of the
hyperbola.

Example 3:
The value of z varies jointly with x and y. When 𝑥 = 3 and 𝑦 = 2, the value of 𝑧 is 42.
a. Find 𝑧, when 𝑥 = 5 and 𝑦 = 3.
b. Find 𝑥, when 𝑦 = 5 and 𝑧 = 70.
Solution:
a. We can find the constant of variation, by first substituting the given
values.
𝑧 = 𝑘𝑥𝑦
42 = 𝑘(3)(2)
42 = 6𝑘
𝑘=7
Then substitute 𝑘 = 7, 𝑥 = 5, and 𝑦 = 3 in the equation.
𝑧 = (7)(5)(3)
𝑧 = 105
Therefore, the value of 𝑧 is 105, when 𝑥 = 5 and 𝑦 = 3.
b. Since 𝑘 = 7, substitute 𝑦 = 5 and 𝑧 = 70, to find the value of 𝑥.
𝑧 = 𝑘𝑥𝑦
70 = (7)(𝑥)(5)
70 = 35𝑥
𝑥=2
Therefore, the value of 𝑥 is 2, when 𝑦 = 5 and 𝑧 = 70.

Example 4:
The value of z is directly proportional to x and inversely proportional to y.
When 𝑥 = 9 and 𝑦 = 4, the value of 𝑧 is 18. Find 𝑧 if 𝑥 = 12 and 𝑦 = 6.
Solution:
Find the value of 𝑘.

SOLVING PROBLEMS INVOLVING VARIATION


One of the useful concepts in mathematics is about the relationship between the
two variables stating that, if one of the quantities increases or decreases, the other
quantity also increases or decreases. This is called variation.
There are different applications of variations in various learning fields like
mechanics, agriculture, and even manufacturing. Analyze the problem so you can form
an equation that will represent your word problem. You can also find the constant of
variation first to solve for the desired quantities.
Steps in solving word problems:
Step 1: Identify the problem.
Step 2: Formulate an equation.
Step 3: Solve.
Step 4: Assess your answer.

Example 1:
During the first month of pandemic, one of the essentials that Filipino
family needs is food. With this, Barangay Captain Eugene Rodriguez decided
to distribute packs of rice from the emergency fund of the barangay to his
constituent in order to help them in their daily needs. If 51 kilograms of rice
can feed a family for 45 days, how many kilograms of rice are needed to feed
the same family for 60 days?

Solution:
Step 1: Let r = the number of kilos of rice
d =number of days
Step 2: The number of kilograms of rice (r) that can feed a family
varies directly as the number of days (d) and r = 51 when d = 45.
Find r when d = 60.
Equation: 𝑦 = 𝑘𝑥 𝑟 = 𝑘𝑑
Step 3: 51 = 𝑘(45) solving for k
51 = 45𝑘
51
=𝑘
45
51
𝑟= (60) Solving for r
45
51(60)
𝑟= 45
𝑟 = 68
Step 4: Thus, 68 kilograms of rice are needed to feed the family
for 60 days.

Example 2:
The cost (c) of a pizza varies directly as the square of its radius (r). If a
pizza with a 6 inches’ radius costs P180, how much should a pizza with an
11 inches’ radius cost?

12
GRADE 9
Learning Module for Junior High School Mathematics

Solution:
Step 1: Let c = the cost of pizza
r = radius of the pizza
Step 2: c varies directly as the square of r, and c = 180 when r =
6, find c when r = 11?
Equation: 𝑦 = 𝑘𝑥 2 𝑐 = 𝑘𝑟 2
Step 3: 180 = 𝑘(62 ) Solving for k
180 = 36𝑘
5=𝑘
𝑐 = 5𝑟 2 Solving for c
𝑐 = 5(112 )
𝑐 = 605

Step 4: ₱ 605 is the cost of pizza with an 11 inches’ radius.

Example 3:
The number of days (d) needed in repairing a house varies inversely as
the number of men (m) working on the house repair. It takes 15 days for 2
men to repair the house. How many men are needed to complete the job in 6
days?
Solution:
Step 1: Let d = number of days needed in repairing a house
m = number of men working on the house repair
Step 2: d varies inversely as m, and d = 15 when m = 2. Find m
when d = 6.
Equation: 𝑥𝑦 = 𝑘 𝑚𝑑 = 𝑘
Step 3: Find k when m = 2 and d = 15
(2)(15) = 𝑘 Solving for k
30 = 𝑘
𝑚(6) = 30 Solving for m
6𝑚 = 30
30
𝑚=
6
𝒎=5
Step 4: Thus, 5 men are needed to complete the job in 6 days.

Example 4:
Kinetic energy varies jointly as the mass and the square of the
velocity. A mass of 8 grams and a velocity of 5 centimeters per second has a
kinetic energy of 100 ergs. Find the kinetic energy for a mass of 6 grams and
a velocity of 9 centimeters per second.

Solution:
Step 1: Let e = kinetic energy
m = mass
v = velocity

Step 2: e varies jointly as m and the square of v, find e if m = 6
and v = 9.
Equation: 𝑒 = 𝑘𝑚𝑣 2

Step 3: Find k when e = 100, m = 8, and v = 5.


100 = 𝑘 (8)(52 ) Solving for k
100 = 𝑘(8)(25)
100 = 200𝑘

“work”

PROBLEM – BASED LEARNING WORKSHEET

WAY BACK HOME

In the city, one of the problems is transportation especially during rush


hours. Some use their own vehicles, some take public vehicles to go to work and
vice versa.
Ms. Dang works at E. Rodriguez Vocational High School which is 40
kilometers away from her home. Driving a car, the time it takes her to reach home
depends on the traffic situation along the way. Sometimes it takes a longer time
to reach home when heavy traffic is ahead of her. Her time way back home
depends on the average speed. The graph below shows some of the recorded speed
driving her own car and the number of hours she has taken to reach home.

LET’S ANALYZE

1. What will happen to the time of travel if the speed of driving the car
decreases?
____________________________________________________
2. How long will it take her to reach home if her driving speed is 50
kph?
____________________________________________________
3. Write a mathematical statement to represent the relationship
between time and speed.
____________________________________________________
4. How do speed and time affect each other?
