Yvaries as x means
y=kx where k is constant
y=2.5
x=6
find k
2.5=k6
divide bot sides by 6
2.5/6=k (leave as that an simplfy later)
if x=4, what is y
y=(2.5/6)*4
y=10/6
y=5/3
y=1 and 2/3
Ok 12 eggs in 1 dozen.
Half of 12 is 6, now you need to do half of that, which is equal to 1/4 and that is 3.
There are 3 eggs in 1/4 dozen of eggs
0.0701 is how you would write it
