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:

\frac{6}{y}= \frac{72}{8}

72y=48

y=\frac{48}{72} = \frac{2}{3}

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Hope it helped you

den301095 [7]

Answer:

2.3 feet/ second

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the rate of change, we will have to find the difference in his distance travelled and divide it by the time taken to move that distance.

This is given by rate of change = (change in position)/ change in time

From the question, his position changed from 30 ft to 100 ft thus the distance he travelled is = 100ft - 30 ft = 70 ft.

Time taken to travel this distance = 40 seconds - 10 seconds = 30 seconds

Diver's rate of travel = 70 ft / 30 seconds = 2.33333ft/second.

Rounding off the answer to the nearest tenth, we have 2.3 ft/second
