Question

The number of kilometers y in a measure varies directly as the number of miles x. Write a direct variation equation that could be used to convert miles to kilometers, if 5 miles is about 8.045 kilometers.

Answer 1

x= 1.069Y

Explanation:

kilometers = y

miles = x

y>x

5x = 8.045y

therefore,

8.045 divided by 5 to get value of X

hence,

X = 1.069Y
