Answer: Another way of looking at it!

y

=

10

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a ratio question in disguise.

By parts of the question:

"When y varies directly with x"

y

x

"

"if y=8 when x=4"

.

.

y

x

=

8

4

"how do you find y when x=5"

y

x

=

8

4

=

y

5

so

y

=

8

×

5

4

=

10

This is the same thing as using 'k' in the other solution
