Question

If y varies inversely as x and y=16 when x=4, find y when x=3

Answer 1

Answer:

21.33 to nearest hundredth

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverse Variation is y = k / x where k is a constant.

Plug in the given values to find k:-

16 = k/4

k = 4*16 = 64 so the equation  of variation is y = 64/x.

So when x = 3,   y = 64/3 = = 21.33 to nearest hundredth.
