    A. 45 B. 125
    C. 100 D. 40
    Hint

  2.   Suppose y varies directly as x and y = 13 when x = 7. Find the constant of variation and write an equation.
    A. k = and y = 13 · 7x B. k = and y = 13 · 7x
    C. k = and y = x D. k = and y = x
    Hint

  3.   If y varies inversely as the cube of x and y = 8 when x = 2, find
x when y = 1.
    A. x = 8 B. x = 1
    C. x = 2 D. x = 4
    Hint

    C. joint variation D. inverse variation
    Hint

  5.   Dakota wants to cook a meal for his family. He knows that the more people who help, the less time it will take to prepare the food. Write an equation that represents this situation. Let C be the cooks in the kitchen, T be the time and k as the constant of variation.
    A. k = CT B. T = kC
    C. k = CT D. C = kT
