Answer 1

The answer is 16.5

i hope thsi helps!

Answer 2

Answer: 16.5

Explanation:

We know that the equation that shows inverse variation between two quantities is given by :-

`x_1y_1=x_2y_2`

We are given that x varies inversely as y, and x = 132 when y = 4

Then , to find the value of x when y= 32 , we have the following equation :-

`x*32=132*4`

Now, divide 32 on both the sides , we get

`x=(132*4)/(32)\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=16.5`

Hence, the value of x = 16.5
