Question

Y is inversely proportional to x. Given that y = 12 and x = 6. Find the value of y when x = 8.

Answer 1

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

formula for inverse proportion is y = $\frac{k}{x}$

k is the constant of probability

to find k,

y is 12, x is 6

12 = $\frac{k}{6}$

so x = 12 × 6

∴ k is 72

so y = $\frac{72}{8}$

∴ y is 9

Answer 2

Y = 16____________gg
