Answer: y = 7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose that y varies directly with x
That is, y∝x
Convert y∝x to a full equation by introducing a constant k to the right hand side.
Therefore, y = kx
Given that y = 10 and x = 20
Substitute y and x in the equation above. We have;
10 = k(20)
10 = 20k
20k = 10
k = 10/20
k = 0.5
Since k = 0.5, the equation y = kx becomes y = 0.5x
Now, to find y if x = 15, substitute x in equation y = 0.5x
Therefore, y = 0.5(15)
y = 7.5
The length of both rooms is 10 meters and the width for the kitchen is 5 meters, while the one for the dining room is 9 meters.
<h3>How to find the length of the rooms?</h3>Both rooms have the same length but different areas and different widths. This common measurement can be found using the GFC or the greatest common factor. To do this, divide each number by 1,2,3, etc., and find the greatest common number (only integers are valid).
The greatest common number is 10, so 10 meters is the length of the room.
<h3>How to find the width?</h3>Use the formula
Kitchen.
Dining room:
