Answer:

y = 5.8

Explanation:

given y is inversely proportional to x then the equation relating them is

y =
(k)/(x) ← k is the constant of proportionality

to find k , substitute x = 3.6, y = 41.76 into the equation

41.76 =
(k)/(3.6) ( multiply both sides by 3.6 )

3.6 × 41.76 = k , then k = 150.336

y =
(150.336)/(x)equation of proportion

when x = 25.92 , then

y =
(150.336)/(25.92) = 5.8
