Question

The variables x and y are related proportionally. When x = 8, y = 14. Find y when x = 32.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 56

Step-by-step explanation:

given that x and y are proportional then

y = kx ← k is the constant of proportionality

to find k use the given condition y = 14 when x = 8

k = $\frac{y}{x}$ = $\frac{14}{8}$ = $\frac{7}{4}$, thus

y = $\frac{7x}{4}$

when x = 32

y = $\frac{7(32)}{4}$ = 56
