Answer 1

Answer:

$y=2\frac{1}{6}$ or $\frac{13}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that $x$ and $y$ are directly proportional. Therefore, using the given information, we can set up the following proportion:

$\frac{6.5}{12}=\frac{y}{4}$

Solving for $y$, we get:

$\frac{6.5}{12}=\frac{y}{4}$

$12*y=6.5*4$ (Cross-Products Property)

$12y=26$ (Simplify)

$\frac{12y}{12} =\frac{26}{12}$ (Divide both sides of the equation by $12$ to get rid of $y$'s coefficient)

$y=2\frac{1}{6}$ or $\frac{13}{6}$ (Simplify)

Hope this helps!
