Answer:
The answer is : 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given is that y varies directly as x.
Means as y increases or decreases, x also increases or decreases.
When y is 6 when x is 72,
So, when x = 8, we have to find y.
We can write the relation as follows:
=
2/3
Y varies directly as x
Y =kx
Y=6 when x = 72
First find the relationship between y and x.
i.e find the value of k
Substitute the value of x and y
6 = k *72
Make k the subject of the formula
K = 6/72
K= 1/12
:. The rlationship between x and y is
Y = 1/12x
When x is 8
Y = 1/12 * 8
Y = 8/12
Y = 2/3 and that is the answer

4/7
1/4 divided by 7/16 is the same thing as 1/4 * 16/7. Multiply this and you will get the fraction of 16/28. Once simplified, this comes out to be 4/7.
