Question

If y varies directly as x and y = 5.5 when x = 11, find x when y = 3.5 help

Answer 1

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us say that $y_{1}$= 5.5, $x_{1}$= 11, and $y_{2}$ = 3.5.

$\frac{y_{2}}{y_{1}} =\frac{x_{2}}{x_{1}}$

$\frac{3.5}{5.5} =\frac{x_{2}}{11}$

$\frac{7}{11} =\frac{x_{2}}{11}$

$x_{2} =7$

I hope this is correct and helps you!
