x= 2.154 approx 2x=2.1542

Explanation:

7 : 787:78
x : 24x:24

For direct variation:

x = 7 xx 24 / 78 approx 2.154x=7×24782.154

Example : 7 apartments can accommodate 78 employees. How many apartments will be needed for accommodation of 24 employees?

Here we take xx as the number of apartments needed. As less number of employees are to be accommodated, less will be the number of apartments needed. So, this is direct variation.
