Question

Multiple Choice Suppose y varies directly as x. if y = 5 when x=8, find y when x=64

Answer 1

Explanation:

y∞x

then

y=kx (with k as constant)

y=5 when x=8

⇒Putting this in the first equation

⇒5=k×8

⇒k=5/8

Now

y=? when x=64

Putting x=64 in the first equation

y=kx

⇒y=(5/8)×64

We get

y=40
