The distance d, through which a stone falls varies directly with the square of the
time t, taken. If the stone falls 45 m in 3 seconds how far will it fall in 7 seconds?

2. The life expectancy L, of rats varies inversely as the square of the distribution d of
poison. When the distribution is 1 g/cm 3 the life expectancy is 50 days. How long will
the rats survive if the distribution of poison is 5 g/cm 3 .

3. The number of golden eggs laid by the goose in a week is directly proportional to the
cube root of the average number of hours she sleeps. When she sleeps for 8 hours
