Question

If y varies directly with x. and y=10 when x=5.6, find the value of y when X=3

Answer 1

Answer: 5.3571

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula used to calculate direct proportion is: y = kx

We will find the constant of proportionality when y=10 and x=5.6. This will be:

y = kx

10 = 5.6k

k = 10/5.6

k = 1.7857143

The value of y when X=3 will be:

y = kx

y = 1.7857143 × 3

y = 5.3571
