The value of y is directly proportional to the value of x. If y=1 when x=1/6, what is the value of y when x=10

Answer 1

Greetings! Lets solve this shall we ?

So, we must find the value of y when x is 10. First, we must find the value of k where the initial value of y is directly proportional to the value of x such that k = y / x where

k = 1 / (1/6) = 6 because we take the reciprocal of 1/6.

Now, we find the value of y when x is 10 such that

6 = y / 10..............Cross multiply such that

y = 60

I hope this helped!
