Given, y varies directly as x
So,

Where c is a constant
When y equals 5 when x is 8
So,

So, the relation between y and x

now , when x = 9
Substitute with x to find y

So, the answer is option 2. y = 45/8
We are required to compare the magnitude for two earthquake intensity:
the larger intensity is 7.9
the smaller intensity is 3.7
thus the ratio of the intensity will be:
(larger intensity)/(smaller intensity)
=7.9/3.7
=2.135
~2
Thus we conclude that:
The larger earthquake's intensity was 2 times as great as the smaller earthquake's intensity.
Answer:
2 x 6 = 12
