this is the simple ratio and proportion question
we know that I vary directly as M
means.... that they must have fixed ratio
5/(2/3) = X/( 16/3) = 40

L varies directly with M

⇒ L = kM where k is a constant


Solve k:

L = 5 when M = 2/3

5 = k (2/3)

k = 5 ÷ 2/3

k = 5 x 3/2

k = 7.5


Form the equation:

L = 7.5M


Find L when M = 16/3:

L = 7.5M

L = 7.5 (16/3)

L = 40


Answer: L = 40
