An elevator is 2/3 full. The people in the elevator weigh 1/3 ton altogether. How many tons can the elevator carry when it is completely full? 1/2 ton
2 ton
1 tons
1/6 ton

Half of a ton

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 of the elevator are already full and the elevator already weighs 1/3 of ton.The elevator needs 1/3 more of people to make the elevator full so that would be half of 1/3 of a ton which is a sixth.So add 1/6 and 1/3 together ams you get 1/2.

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation
