Mrs Lee used 6 Meters of material to make 3 dresses. She used 4 ties as much material for a curtain as for a dress. How much material did she use for the curtain? (Dress)

for each dress she used 6/3 of material

=2

then for a curtain =2x4=8 materials

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
