Question

Assume that y varies directly with x. If y = 2/5 when

x= 1/3, find y when x = 1/4. Enter in any fractions using
a/ (e.g. "1/2" is the same as ?).

Answer 1

y = 3/10

Explanation:

(1/3) / (2/5) = (1/4) / y

y = (1/4) (2/5) / (1/3) = (2/20) / (1/3) = 3/10

check: (1/3) / (1/4) = 4/3

(2/5) / (3/10) = 20/15 = 4/3
