As y varies directly with x, there is a proportionality constant. As x increases by that certain constant, y also increases. We equate:
y = kx
where k = proportionality constant.
Given the condition, y = 5 when x = 4, then we solve for k:
5 = k(4)
k = 5/4 or 1.25
When y = 8, then
8 = (5/4)(x)
x = 8/(5/4) = (8)(4/5) = 32/5 or 6.4 (ANSWER)
The answer to this question is that the trains will meet after 3 hours.
We can work this out by considering that is the closing speed of the two
trains is (50+60=)110 miles per hour, then this must mean that the
combined distance that the trains need to travel before they meet is 330
miles. If the time that is taken to travel 330 miles at 110 miles per
hour, then you simply need to divide 330/110 to find your answer - 3
hours.
