Direct Variation / Directly Proportional
y is directly proportional to x, y x:
y=kx

Inverse Variation / Directly Proportional

y is inversely proportional to x, y 1/x:
y=k

Joint Variation / Jointly Proportional

y is directly proportional to x and z:
y=kxz
y is directly proportional to x and inversely proportional
to z:
y=kx

Sample Problem:
Given that w varies directly as the
product of x and y and inversely as
the square of z and that w=4 when
x=2, y=6, and z=3. Find w when
x=1, y=4, and z=2.

Age Problem
Alfred is four times as old as his nephew
Franco. 5 years ago, the sum of their ages is
equal to the present age of Alfred. How old is
Alfred?

Answer:

Sample Problem:
The sum of the parents ages is twice the sum of
their childrens ages. Five years ago, the sum of

Digit Problems

In a two-digit number, the units

digit is 3 greater than the tens
digit. Find the number if it is 4
times as large as the sum of its
digit.

Answer:

Sample Problem:
The sum of the digits of a three-place number
is 19. If the tens and units digits are
interchanged the number is diminished by 27,
and if the hundreds and tens digits are
interchanged the number is increased by 180.

Motion Problems

A boat takes 2/3 as much time to

travel downstream from C to D, as
to return. If the rate of the rivers
current is 8 kph, what is the speed
of the boat in still water.

Answer:

Work Problems
Case 1: Workers have different rates
Work rate Time to finish the job = 1 job done
Work rate = (1 job done) / (Time to finish the job)
Time of doing the job = (1 job done) / (Work rate)

Sample Problem:
Lex can finish a job in 6 hours
while Romel can do the same job
in 3 hours. Working together, how
many hours can they finish the job

Answer:

Work Problems
Case 2: Workers have equal rates
Work load = no. of workers time to
finish the job
Work done = no. of workers time of
doing the job

Sample Problem:
Eleven men could finish the job in 15
days. Five men started the job and
four men were added at the beginning
of the sixth day. How many days will it
take them to finish the job?

PROBABILITY
Probability is a measure or estimation of how

likely it is that something will happen or that a

statement is true. Probabilities are given a
value between 0 (0% chance or will not happen)
and 1 (100% chance or will happen).

Sample Problem:
Roll a pair of dice. What is the
probability that the sum is 11?

Answer:

Sample Problem:
