Answer:

y = 12

Explanation:

if y varies directly with x then we need to find the constant of variation, known as 'k'

y = kx

8/3 = 1/4k

divide each side by 1/4 to find 'k':

8/3 ÷ 1/4 is the same as 8/3 x 4/1, which is 32/3

now we can use 32/3 and 9/8 to find 'y':

y = 32/3 x 9/8

y = 32·9/3·8

y = 288/24

y = 12
