Problem 36
Use the following information. The violin family includes the bass, the cello, the viola, and the violin. The size of each instrument determines its range. The shortest produces the highest notes, while the longest produces the deepest (lowest) notes. \begin{array}{|l|c|c|c|c|} \hline \text { Violin family } & {\text { Bass }} & {\text { Cello }} & {\text { Viola }} & {\text { Violin }} \\ \hline \text { Total length, t (inches) } & {72} & {47} & {26} & {23} \\ \hline \text { Body length, b (inches) } & {44} & {30} & {?} & {14} \\ \hline \end{array} Write a direct variation model that relates the body length of a member of the violin family to its total length. HINT: Round each ratio to the nearest tenth. Then write a direct variation model.
