Direct Proportion

y is directly proportional to x. When y=124 x=8. Work out the value of y when x=4.​

[tex]\underline{\mathcal{INFO:}}[/tex]

  • Direct proportion can be written as y = kx.

[tex]\boxed{\tt{Solution:}}[/tex]

  • y = 124, x = 8
  • y = kx
  • 124 = k · 8
  • 1/8[124 = k · 8]1/8
  • 124/8 = k

-------

  • y = ?, x = 4, k = 124/8
  • y = kx
  • y = (4)(124/8)
  • y = 62

[tex]\huge\boxed{\tt{ANSWER:}}[/tex]

  • The value of y is 62.
