Answer 1

Answer:

C. y = 91

Step-by-step explanation:

you are given that x and y are proportional, this means that you can out them in a fraction

so when x is 8, y is 56, this can be written as 8/56

you are trying to find what y is when x is 3, so you can also put that in a proportion that is equal to the given fraction

so now we have 8/56 = 13/y

cross multiply 56 and 13, and 8 and x

you now have: 8y = 728

divide both sides by 8

you get y = 91
