Question

The variables x and y are related proportionally. When x = 6, y = 14. Find y when x = 48.

When x = 48, y =

Answer 1

112

Explanation:

When something is related proportionally, that means that multiply by some value constant k, will result in the output.

Thus, to find k, all you have to do is divide y/x

14/6 = 7/3 = k

kx = y

48*7/3 = y = 112
